My new chair
I am an avid racing simulator fan, you'll find me racing around circuits on Live for Speed fairly regularly, and with the recent replacement of the seats in my car I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to do some "DIY".
I made myself a race - inspired computer chair!
Started off with some blocks of wood and an Si passenger seat, removed the seatbelt pretensioner, and as a prototype mounted the seat onto blocks of wood, then set about making the seat base level. I've still got some finishing off to do - tidy it up around the edges - but at the moment its making a fantastic racing / computer chair
Soo comfortable

Re: My new chair
Nice one Nick!! Ive always wanted to do this, but have the chair on a computer chair base so it spins around like a normal chair. Imagine, leave the seatbelt on, see how fast someone can spin you round

Re: My new chair
Good idea!! The problem with having it swivel is its not too good for the steering wheel, nice and solid is fantastic
