The seat I had originally gotten from Pick N Pull last Friday is now all cleaned up and electrically sound. I just need to get some terminals for the wires and I’m pretty much ready to build the base for it!

[This is Forza Acura , my attempt to build a driving simulation rig with a real car seat and a Logitech G920. All installations of the project will be under the tag “Project SIMULATOR”]

Junkyard seat rigs rule!

I went for less support and more comfort and went with... a minivans captain chair... awesome to sit in for a couple hours or more..bad when your throwing your whole body into turns

I think I got the best of both worlds with a TL Type-S seat.

I hooked it up to a power supply and let the motors do the talking.

Why didn’t you get a Volvo or Saab chair, renowned across the world for comfort and support?

Was the Corvette seat built to protect you from VTEC?

I thought not.

It’s really cool. It helps to protect the concrete garage floor.

Honestly? Two reasons.

First was that the minivan seat was free. I’m cheap and free is great

Second is that finding a clean manual no power leather seat is near impossible by me.

If I move in doing it right though and getting something much nicer

Oh my is it a bit chilly in here? Not to worry, I shall just flip this switch and- AAAAH that feels nice. Nothing like driving a McLaren F1 around Spa with a warm rump.

Ah, free beats pretty much anything else especially if it’s in good condition...I guess in our area there are more Swede specific junkyards to visit, and I don’t thing it would be too difficult to rig a power seat?
