A Fold-Up Driving Cockpit You Can Make (Maybe!)

4:30PM October 22, 2009 | Brian Ashcraft

A crafty Japanese dude created this Gran Turismo cockpit using PVC pipping, wood planks and awesomeness. The link below has how-to instructions — they’re in Japanese, but perhaps you can figure them out? Perhaps not.

    “A Fold-Up Driving Cock Pit You Can Make”

    Don’t you mean cockpit as opposed to “Cock Pit”? (which is a totally different kettle of fish :D)

      Don’t worry about it.. Brian is just on fire at the moment..

      The top two articles on Kotaku AU are by Brian and have spelling/gramatical errors in the titles.. 3 articles earlier he cocked up the picutre/name in an article about Peacewalker on PSP..

      I don’t like to be a grammar nazi.. but seriously I expect better from Kotaku..

      I think I’ll take the Japanese dude’s one thanks…

      His is collapsable, and also has a real seat – not something I remember sitting on in Grade 2.

      Needs a G25 though :)

    Why is a 360 racing wheel being used for a Gran Turismo cockpit?

    @ the link to the Japanese website…LOL, there is a picture of a man wearing nothing but undies and a motorbike helmet playing with this setup. He is a champion.
