Ford Focus Dash Racing Simulator
Here's a rundown of my Ford Focus dash racing simulator. In the video I mention how it cost about $200 to make the setup. That price doesn't include the steering wheel or Xbox One, but everything else is included in that price. I'm sure I'll make more changes and updates in the future as well. Stay tuned.
You can also follow my car's adventures on Facebook and Instagram under SonicSVTFocus.

i recently bought the seat out of a audi a6 SLine and also dash and centerconsole>got the heated seat running and also gonna adapt my windsim on the vents>love the idee
this looks great! i wanted to do this using 3rd gen rx7 dash as it has a great look or the driver focused dash from mk3 supra but these days there pricey.
great work
It`s fun!!!! 😃
Two-seater…another level🙏👍🙂
We should hang out bro. You got skills and I’m committed to building one! Please update us.
That looks great nice job. Now if you want the gauges to work you better switch to a pc then you can get them to work.

It hasn't been a huge priority to do that since that's a large investment just to get gauges to work. Plus I already have over 40 racing games for the Xbox One

Not entirely, some games EG Forza, do work with guages, by outputting a data stream. All the guy would need is a small PC (even a pi probably could do it) - however it's getting the data into the cluster. you would have to mimic the black oak PCM to send the signals into that ford cluster. (I know as I own one still). uses PWM signals so not too bad actually.

@@BiohazardX9 Is there a way to control the gauges directly? I feel like commanding the stepper motors would be easier no?
I will make something like this. I have an old rally seat, a buddy of mine has a shop so i can get a dash for cheap and the rest is stuff that i have at home already
I was so excited when I listened to 200 bucks when the word donation came along.
Very awesome, i had an idea to connect E36 Ganges instead because you can actually get them to show in game speed and RPM.

Where did u get the table from because I got some Honda Civic em1 seats and a g920 all I need is the dash center console and the table
@SonicSVTFocus

I had the table for years and don't remember where I got it. It happens to be the right height for my dash but you might want to measure the height of your dash to the floorboard and use that as a basis to find the correct height table you need for your setup.
Does the handbrake work?

I had it for years and don’t know where I got it. I think if someone is going to make a setup like this, it is going to be different if they use a different vehicle’s dash.

Measure from the floorboard to the top of the dash in a Focus then find a table that is that tall and as wide as the dash and go from there

@SonicSVTFocus

My cluster is not wired up. You would need to wire it up using an Arduino and have that interface with an app of program that reads the data output by the game. Many PC games out out the data. Most console games don't.

You do realize there's a difference between "inexpensive" and "how much it cost me", right? Let's be clear that this is *not* anywhere near an inexpensive setup by any means lol

Yeah, and I've researched the parts I got for free or stupid cheap and people can get them from sources for a low price. For example, the dash can be bought from a local parts yard for $50. So it can be duplicated without buying everything new at crazy high prices.
i have one using a honda civic dash but i cant install it because i cant move in my room. the rig takes up all the space and i cant even get to the pedals let alone getting behind it to mount a dash
