well, they might actually dump a turbo in the thing...

Go thru the build your own and a turbo is one of the available options...

THE SEAT
I remember paying $250 for the seat afew years back. Its Ultimate Gaming Chair Product. It vibrate with the game!
(Was the best with GT2 on PS2 with Logitech wheel til Forza 2 came out. Now forza 3! it just doesnt feel right playing with the regular controller.)

You should use real car seats imo from junk yard thats reasonable like $20-40. if DIY.
Cause its not worth $250 for that UGC imo. add $99 for Vib from UGC if thats your thing.

instead of spending 250 on seat alone. you can get

http://txsri.com/products/cockpits_obutto.html

for
The individual price is 289 + 85-95 shipping.
Group buy of 5 price is 250 + 45-55 shipping to (one address)

sry to get off tracks...

WHEEL & PEDAL
Got the Wheel & Pedal from my GF on that follow Christmas.
Never had the whole setup so wheel & pedal just collected dust for awhile.
I think you should be able to get one used for $20-40 Wheel & Pedal.
I tried to sell it back to Gamestop afew year back they wouldnt even buy it back! lol So I was stuck with it collect dust.

so I decided instead of spending too much money work with a budget $40-80.
all parts came out to 68.14 with tax frm Home Depot. some parts are going back thats worth about $16. so approx 52.14 for the racing table I had built.

I took some pics during the build all parts necessary & my limited tools.
will update when I get home...

Hmmm... Interesting. Maybe it wouldn't be so expensive like I thought after all...

I like your idea of using a seat from a junk yard too.

Im pretty amazed at myself I just told myself stop being lazy & do something.
Since everything you do now a day cost some kind of money, I set myself budget to build this thing didnt really have a plan.

So I go to my cars (00 Honda Civic & 09 Ralliart) measured

-from floor to the bottom of the wheel & top. (18 Bottom 31 top)
-from gas pedal to the edge of the wheel (18-20")
-the width of the leg & knee room (20-22")

I did measure from pedal to the seat but that irrelevant cause you can move the seat back for taller people move the seat closer for shorter people.
Thats how a real car seats work.

Now these are actual measurement from my seating position in my real cars.

I start to vision it drew a sketch of it & went to Home Depot.

1 x 27x48" approx The board I used was I think 3 or 4 ply as a base.
1 x 2x4 Wood- cut to
2 x 18" &
2 x 24" (Although 24" is a little too tall should be around 18-21" @ an angle cause the wheel is at an angle)

4 x Metal Support brackets *dont know what its actually called* (only needed 2)
4 x Smaller Brackets

My sketch..
