So it was half off at the local Pick ‘n’ Pull junkyard, even admission was half off! I of course went scrounging and here’s what I got, along strange looks for carrying a 90 lb. toolbox in one hand, and a 30lb. one in the other, my 1/4” battery impact in one pocket, and my bit set in the other. But hey, I had all the tools I needed. And because the car I wanted to work on was right over the rust filled, chemical ridden stream was running had formed from the rain, I always bring a spare cargo liner to lay on.
So, I don’t know why the above picture won’t load vertically, if anyone knows what’s going on, let me know.
As I was pulling the seat out of the Chrysler Conquest, I couldn’t help but notice the very 80’s seatbelts, so I nabbed them. I’m not entirely sure what I am going to use them for, but I’m sure I’ll think of something. They were just cool to pass up. Also, anyone who thinks that a lawnmower pull start return spring is violent when it pops out, should see a seatbelt return spring let go. That is apparently what happens when you take off the thing that says, “Caution, do not remove”.
Here is a rusty shifter that I pulled out of a 2005 Legacy, that I am hopeful will fit into my 2000 Impreza. While it is rusty, it has very tight bushings. Subaru only made very minor changes to the 5 speed shifter over the years, but if anyone knows for sure if this swap is doable, let me know.
Turbo seatbelts! Again, out of a Chrysler Conquest TSi! Not sure what I am going to use them for, but I’ll think of something.
And here is the gem of the day, the purchase that made guys jealous, and my girlfriend pissed off. The passenger seat out of said Conquest TSi, which is destined to become a gaming chair. It is fully intact with tilting headrest, bolster adjustment, and seatback tilt. Going to have a gaming chair that is going to be !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Put the seatbelt on the gaming chair for when it gets serious.

I was pretty stoked when I found it, and in such good condition! I actually covered it with a bunch of loose trim pieces that were sitting in the back of the car in hopes no one would nab it until I could come back and get it.

Haha, you should have built up a fort of wheels around it.

what you need to do is slowly part out the cars and build a complete gaming setup - steering wheel, pedals, shifter
like this but with real car parts

That’s sweet! That would be a hell of a project. But I think it would be fun figuring out how to integrate the actual car parts with say, a Logitech setup.

i’d imagine the easiest way would just be replace the pedals and wheel with real stuff keeping the electronics intact.
