I had one using an rst seat and that was the problem. Hurts the backs of your legs after a while

mine was a piece of wood screwed direct to the seat base too after removing the runners.

mine was still too high


When we moved from her dads to our 1st house i left the seat there. He eventually chucked it in a skip
It wasn't a great condition seat but still!


I'd like to make another so anyone know ehere to get a LOW seat base to start with?

my mate has just done one for his living room with a 997 911 turbo seat and has just got 2 seats from a 360 (which are mint!) to do the same with just for fun.

obv the frames arent your normal office chair type. More of a recliner. Made them himself.

Looks Cool!

no pics im afraid
