Thats the old wheel in the pic above here is the new one old one on the left new one on the right.
The tub is a '70's model Ralt chassis that two people died in so I guess it was time to retire it.Also the rig is not mine but I did help build it.

In reply to 4cylndrfury: It stays pretty still on the hard wood floor. I havent tested it while playing yet. I dont think it will move at all though.
In reply to Graefin10: I don't, I dont have a PS3 yet. Or high speed internet for that matter. I did however build the cockpit without the wheel controller permanently mounted on purpose. So I could put a different wheel on there. Ill probably get another DFP at some point.
In reply to grinch77: Now THAT is a racing cockpit!

Ok price breakdown of the one I built
(3) 2'x4' sheets of 1/2" MDF - $26
(2) 2"x3"x8' studs - $4
(4) 2-1/2" industrial casters - $24
Hardware to mount casters - $13
Screws to assemble - $0 (already had)
Seat - $0 (already had)
Around $70 after tax I suppose. Its possible I could have only used (2) sheets of MDF if I had simplified things a little but I am very happy with the end result. Only thing I might do is take off the casters and add another set of washers all around to give it a little more ground clearance.
