An e30 driving sim with real dash, steering wheel (and I'm assuming shifter) and gauges. All fully functional.

I've always wanted to try making something like this.

thats looks amazing, EXCEPT for, the what ever he grafted the steering wheel onto, does not correspond to the actual steering ratio. I mean look at the video again, he's putting full OPPO thru some of the turns. otherwise, an awesome idea, i wonder if there is actual feedback, heaviness in the steering, or whatev.

The steering ratio on an e30 it pretty crazy. 4 turns lock to lock. So it might not be too far off. Hard to say. (full lock would be twice all the way around in either direction)

For comparison sake a e36 is something like 3.2 turns lock to lock, a e36 m3 is 3 turns and an z3 M-coupe is like 2.7 turns.
