MODS- Might aswell delete this old gem of a thread.

"The sequal is always worse than the original." Old ppl here will know what i mean when i look at this thread ;)

YES Boys and Girls i am slowly getting back into the weird & wonderful world of TDU Central eventhough it may have grown a little since i was last properly on. I miss the days of it being like 500 members and i can still remember people- S71NGER Zerious Nodz Carfreak Iced Diablo (obvs ) Baldred Mb ScottishSpotter MadMax tWm Pherelas And a few more aswell :) So here i am doing another guess that car- http://i509.photobucket.com/albums/s333/EnosEnos/Youhavetoguess.jpg So what is that car? Each winner recieves 5 points per correct answer! And a additional 2 points if you can find the exact picture of the car i cropped from! Good Luck & im happy to be back to irratate you with these pictures :D

OMG. Yes it is me, it has been a fair few years since i came on here.. :) Hello TSS!! The project was a huge success and i love it, but i think i might have to sell it as now im driving a real car (2006 Fiat Grande Punto in Orange) i need the moneys! So if anyone on here wants a truely unique and special set up then send me a PM or something with an offer.. but dont be silly as the G25 alone is £100+ and raw materials were £200. It was really me just following loosely around the Ariel Atom sort of shape and once i did the one side, it was all pretty much symatry after that :)

Inverted pedals are what are in real cars... feels 1000000% better than hinge mounted pedals (standard G25 mountings)

Yeah well tbh, the reversed pedals were the easiest part of the whole thing. All you need to make sure of is that you feel comfortable and happy with the angle of which the pedals sit at and also when you've got the throttle fully pressed as if you get the wrong angle, your feet could slip off :) Im not that much of a technical person, i mean at the time i was 15 going on 16... But if im 100% honest with you, i curved the top pieces before doing anything else and i built one side originally using no dimensions at all. Nothing on paper, not a jot. To build the other side, i already had the same curve so i just built it ontop of the first side and made sure they were near enough identical. I could have got full marks for this but the thing that let me down was the fact that i had hardly any measurements / dimensions sheets in my file and when my teacher asked where they were i just shrugged my shoulders and told him i did no pre-planned measurements at all. I only used the top curves to build my entire project around and i used 2metre box sections along the bottom. Looking back i have no clue how it turned out so well... :D

UPDATE Sorry for the HUGELY long update on this, i got an A* for it btw. Stats- + 390 Pop Rivets (Yes i measured, driled and popped them all by myself) + 14 Metres of 40mm Aluminium box section that is 3mm thick + The sides come apart from the seat section, the seat has 3 seperate adjustable positions and the steering wheel has 2 positions. + Inverted G25 Pedals + Red Corbeau Racing Seat + Too many hours spent on it + Apart from the seat, it all flattens with alot of winged bolts which hold the 5 seperate sections together. http://i509.photobucket.com/albums/s333/EnosEnos/021-1.jpg http://i509.photobucket.com/albums/s333/EnosEnos/022-1.jpg - Enos :p

Yeah i'd say Jimmy aswell?

Heya guys. Thanks alot for the input. Espically Iced... Funny you should mention Anthropot all, metrics because ive just done it all and its all going pretty swimmingly :D I think folding would be best because no one really wants a 6ft long piece of steel and wood structure in their room do they? But Keep the suggestions coming, they're helping alot.

Alrite guys. Hope your all ok, i aint been on here a while because of exams and work- Yadda yadda. My Design and Technology project for GCSE can be anything i want to be. First i thought about a car which i thought was a little extreme. ;) BUT. Whats the next best thing? A driving seat for PS3, PC or whatever you want. I need to design a driving seat that is different to other existing products in a sense that its either cheaper, smaller, easier to use or just overall better. :) The reason why im on here is because you lot are the "Target Market" and i want to know what you want from a product like this. What you could do if you already own a GamePod or something similar, tell me what you like and what you dislike about it, whether its as serious as the driving position or just you didnt like the colour. Speak Up. Have a moan, trust me- It will help me with my project alot. :excited: Cheers for Reading.

How are things going? Also. have you got a hopeful release date? Good Luck :D

The Racounters - Steady As She Goes. :D But... Pendulum- Blood Sugar. PHOAAARRR!

Well Done tWm... Finally. :D

There we go.
