Wouldn't it be really cool if you had a token with a speedometer on one side and a steering wheel on the other?  8)

To attach pics to your reply: click "Additional options..." which reveals "Browse", click "Browse" and point it to the picture, then double click the picture.

And that's it :)

That is sweet man!!! Just the idea of having a driving cab for Burnout and Forza is worth the cost and effort. Great job.

He says that you can disassemble it... just like most other cockpit machines.

It looks very nice, I've always wanted to build one myself.   I need more space before that can happen though.

no doubt.  I NEED a bigger house with a gameroom.  I have 3 arcade games, a pinball table and the x-racer.  Where am I supposed to put the pool table and the stripper pole?

Totally great! Seems very well made! People in this forum are so skilled! I like the window on the back so people can watch the one playing from a good standing point :) Kudo!

My question to you is, do you find that when the wheel is just sitting there, when the xbox is turned off, it seems to have alot of play in it, like its loose even though its mounted perfectly secure.

Love the term "slop" its a perfect description.  I too am hoping that its just breaking in.  I have had no issues with it in any game so I figure there is a pretty good chance thats all thats going on, its just getting broken in.

Hey Zeos. It looks like you modded your Xbox, what is the front end you have on that? It looks really good!

XBMC <-- Xbox Media Center.. an older version using the Project Mayhem 2 skin.  I should upgrade to a newer version but it aint broke so I aint fixin' it.  Besides my dad is staying with me a few days and he wont got off the damn thing.
