Looks very cool so far

How'd you connect the dials? Welcome to OcUK. :cool:

You can embed youtube videos by wrapping [you tube][/you tube] around the 'v=' value of the URL.

So; to embed your video it would be [you tube]EiFFWP9rqT0[/you tube] (with the space in 'you tube' removed).

Would that have cost more or less than one of the metal framed ones?

nescafe37 · 12 Jan 2013 at 22:33

i spent about £150 minus the wheel..Gearstick and pedals

Alz_D · 12 Jan 2013 at 22:51

That my friend is sick. In a good way obviously.

GIBURROWS · 12 Jan 2013 at 23:09

WOW! very good but probably quite time consuming as well as expensive.

Chris [BEANS] · 12 Jan 2013 at 23:47

The fact that the dials work is ridiculous!!!
Very cool, well played :cool:

SkeeterUK · 12 Jan 2013 at 23:52

I have always wondered about that, dials and stuff in these things. How do you hook them up to the pc and how on earth do u get them to work especially with all the diff car games and stuff as i dont think games would even consider controls for dials would they?

dirtybeatfreak · 12 Jan 2013 at 23:56

WOW, that is simply awesome

caz32 · 13 Jan 2013 at 00:05

Even though I have no intrest in race simas, I love stuff like this, just what people build etc very nice
