What happens when you mix Forza 3 and a car customizer?

You get the urge to build a proper wheel stand and not pay $250 for a Playseat!

Just finished the wheel stand last night, ran about 8 races with it before the 360 froze up on me. Needs to be dropped about an inch, but definitely works nicely!!







One of the other officers at work says I should sell them, and I'm actually thinking about it.

You could box it up in pieces with assembly instructions.

And for giving you that brilliant idea, I get one free right?


Looks awesome.

yeah, that was the original plan ;) now way in hades I would send a complete one!

Figured so. Just trying to get a free one!

You pay for supplies and drive your **** across the border and I'll build you one.

If I played driving games I'd buy it, Does the wheel and pedels work with GTA?

I eyed my old racing seats to try to mount up a wheel/pedals to

I don't play video games,but nice job Sir.

Those ikea chairs are the ****!

Dude ! Love it Sweet idea and very slick execution !

Thanks lads, I do what I can

That is pretty slick, great idea.

What is the thing right under the wheel in the 3rd pic??

i have a set of recaros at my apartment i have built into chairs ;) quite comfy

table clamp that comes with the microsoft wheel

I think he was referring to the clothes iron. It's white and green like an xbox accessory.

^^lol If he was refering to the clothes iron.

Single guy, you iron your own dress shirts ;)

Since when? The only single guys I know that iron their own dress shirts are ***.


Note: Not that there is anything wrong with being ***.

or in military/law enforcement ;)

I was talking about the clamp, not the iron

Yeah, I thought as much, but best to let the natives run amuck for comedy purposes anyway ;)

It's detachable from the steering wheel itself. Personally I think it's too wide at the front, but thinner may have compromised the structure. I chopped about an inch and a half off of it the other day so it sits lower and offset the pedal now so I'm only using my right foot. The constant bow-legged bit was getting tiring.

I guess since I have a wheel I overlooked the clamp. It all looked like wheel to me.

So is Forza 3 worth a pickup? I played Forza 2 quite a bit, customized a lot of cars that I would love to import over...is that possible?

You can do engine swaps, and drivetrain swaps. I have an all wheel drive 1000+ HP '69 Charger. The game is insane. You can drift easier in this one, and the graphics are gorgeous.

There is also drag racing.

Interesting. I think I'll get it.

It didn't give me an option to import my previous Forza 2 career, which would have been nice since I was level 40. Already at 20 now and I've only had it for a week and a bit (I really like racing).

It's definitely worth a purchase though

20? damn, I'm only like 14. I just bought a 3000gt VR4. It was the baddest car in Gran turismo 2 and I wanna see how it hangs.

You can download user content for your cars also right? Logos/graphics/etc.

Yes. there are people who actually make money designing and selling cars with their photos on them.

There are also Foxbody stangs, and every gen of camaro. something about a 3rd gen IROc with a stock car motor in it that just sounds right.

Mmm, IROC.

If I don't make it out to get it tonight, I'll be picking it up in the morning. I'll have to hit you guys up and go drift around with you. (or race I suppose lol)

No no, drifting works too ;) (that is, once I figure out the setup properly)

You're on my list. Both of ya are ;)


I need to make a sweet mount for my wheel. I have extra wood, I have 2x4's and sheets of MDF but I don't have a router to make the edges look nice.

So for now, I'll use the ottoman and the tv tray.

Screw that, mine was all jigsaw and a steady hand!

Oh yeah? Nice. I guess it just looks so clean I figured the edges were routed.

I don't have xbl anymore.

Ah. Ok.


Is it worth it to buy the Gamestop LE with all the extra stuff?

so uhhh.. one of my friends wants to know if youll see him one, lol

I see his one, and raise him two!

i wish more racing games that used pedals and a wheel made use of a clutch ive seen a couple that do but nothin to main stream...i'd be cool if the clutch was more a part of the game while using pedals like stalls, dumping it ect..
