I have a Tuner FX seat that would make a decent comfy seat for your build (if you would rather leave your race seat in your car). It is exactly the same as this one, and it is adjustable:

$40.

Thanks Bruce, but I already have the seat mount made specific to the one I have.

Nice looking setup. Was wondering how your wheel and pedals mounted... most the commercial ones would need the bases at different angles.

So this rig slides under your desk with the monitors/keyboard/mouse/etc?

And what is the big red panic button for? 8O

Yes. I don't have any pics with the new rig, but the old one is shown below.

It's an emergency stop switch. It comes with all direct drive wheel kits. If / when the wheel starts going crazy, you let go and hit the button. If you try to hang on to the wheel to control it, you may end up with a broken finger or two. 8O

There's one aspect to using the race seat out of my car that I hadn't considered.... Cat hair. :42:
