spursmaddave Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 I have been on the lookout for a while, looking on eBay etc, almost bought a rocker one the other day but the fact it had speakers put me off, not needed.... The yeaterday I spotted something strange, a Seat Leon FR leather display seat, only 15 miles away and no bids... As I have a Leon FR I knew the seat so I took the plunge and for £50 I am very happy!

spursmaddave Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 Don't forget to buckle up when racing Dave Haha that is coming off in a minute Just looking on the net to see if I can get a steering wheel and pedal combo that I can fix up onto a frame.... I want something like this - Quote
SteveRS Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 This is amazing!! Never even thought about using a real car seat. Quote
Zugara Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Poor Mary...... I have a rocker in my loft you could of had for free...... Quote
spursmaddave Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 This is amazing!! Never even thought about using a real car seat. I had seen the ones you can buy for about £300 like in the pic but i was really only looking for a rocker really until I saw this on eBay Quote

DoogyRev Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Knowing Dave, he will make his own rumble kit... Quote
spursmaddave Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 Oi Oi.... Guilty as charged M'Lud though... Rumble pack sounds good though Just seen some nice set ups on eBay, not cheap though... and then a steering wheel on top, it would be cheaper to buy an actual shed to drive around in! Quote
glrnet Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Just go outside and sit in the Leon Oi Oi.... Guilty as charged M'Lud though...

spursmaddave Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 My Leon only has cloth seats so it is nicer than them If only I could find another one I could swap them out Quote

Gudzy Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 I bought the front pair of seats out of an impreza for £40 and they are in my gaming/ cinema room. Forza has never been so good Quote
spursmaddave Posted January 1, 2012 Author Posted January 1, 2012 Finally got round to fitting my crimbo present together with my chair.... just need to get some black cable ties to tidy things up and im sorted.... It is fantastic with Forza Just need to get some carpet coaster type things for the chair so it is easier to move Quote
