Nice Set Up

I've been making quite a few improvements to the simulator, adding additional functionality as we go.

Functional Components

Full OEM E30 Headunit with 6CD Changer
HVAC Blower Motors
E-Brake - including light on cluster
Instrument Cluster - All Gauges work except the MPG Gauge
All instrument lighting
Ignition Key
Full 13 button OBC (Ave MPG, MPH Gong, Range, Temp "thanks George", all function)
Improved Force Feedback

and finally, with the launch of GTR Evolution (http://www.gtr-evolution.com/) a BMW E30 M3!!








The next large phase will be a complete e30 frame to contain actual pedals, plus whatever else I can find....maybe working brakelights and turn signals!

Bad Ass,I like as well as my co-workers thumps up X 1000000.....

Now what would be awesome would be working windows and sunroof. :-D

Don't give him ideas. I've built this thing too many times already!

what would be bad is a screen for every view (forward, backwards, side windows.... ect)

replace the lcd screen with projector screen :)

I love it, and I had the lap record until yesterday afternoon, thanks jpark. Not for long though.

bitch your style is too smooth and safe to shave 1.5 seconds off your lap time.

how?

The OBC uses the factory harness to connect to the gauge cluster, all signaling is generated via a Beta Innovations Nitro-SLG and SPI2FREQ Adapters (X 4 for 4 gauges)

The company recently (sadly) went out of business, but details are found here

James, I am going to steal those wheels on Friday maybe. If you hear a groan from over by the red car when you get home assume it is me and call for help. :D

alright, keep in mind the tires are snowtires on them.

I just need the thing to be capable of rolling, so go forth and have fun, just don't curb them for when I need them later on. :)
