Ive been wanting to do it for awhile, but today i actually started on my own arcade style race setup. My goal is to build it for less than 30 bucks. I started off with a few simple measurements went to the home depot and had them cut the 2x4's for me.

List of supplies so far.

Civic seat
3 8ft 2x4's
1 10ft 2x4
Box of 3" screws
Cup holder
2 1/2" Door hinge

you need to wrap it with something so it's not just a bunch of wood. and if it really was easy to make i guarantee you could sell them ****s haha.
