What to do with an extra Evo VIII seat?

We took our stock EVO VIII seat and used it to make our own arcade like racing setup. It will be in our showroom for customers to use while they wait for their car.

Wow that is awesome! I plan on doing something like that eventually, here's a tip for you in case you want to take the whole idea a step further put a logitech G25 steering wheel there, it even has a gear lever and a clutch pedal! that would make it the ultimate arcade setup!

Thanks! Hopefully we can get our hands on the porsche video game steering wheel for when Gran Turismo 4 comes out.

Forget about that GT4, just wait for Forza 3 LOL

But that was one good idea..

That's awesome!

Does the yellow toolbox in the background of the first picture have eyes painted on it?

Looks like VonDutch winged eyeballs on the toolbox.

I was expecting a Recaro office chair, but this is pretty sweet too!

Nice setup. I had a similar but not as nice as yours using the gran turismo logitech wheel(awesome btw). The experience is totally different playing like this, the force feedback rumbling wheel, shifter, seat, and a thumping sound system, its better than playing at the arcades.

I didnt have the priviledge for a nice widescreen like yours and evo seat, bet your setup is crazy fun. Is the seat too close though btw ?

It does seem like it is close in pictures but when you sit in the seat it looks good. At least it hasn't hurt my eyes yet.
