Before beginning this project, read and follow all instructions carefully and in full, and make sure you understand the proper operation of and safety issues posed by each tool, material and step in the process. Use each tool and material only for its intended purpose and in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and warnings. Wear safety glasses and proper clothing when using any power tool, hammer, drill or saw. Maintain proper ventilation when handling paint. Unplug all power tools before changing or installing bits, blades or other attachments, making any adjustments, or leaving tools unattended. Keep children and animals away from the work area and all potentially harmful tools and materials.

PROJECT NFS_0-60
D.I.Y. R CADE
created BY
Stealing design aesthetics from coin-operated arcade racers of yesteryear, Need For Speed Shift and 0-60 Magazine bring you this step-by-step how-to on building the ultimate driving console that not only can be built for around $500 in raw material costs (sans electronics) but also looks the part. Over the next 60+ pages, you will find detailed instructions on recreating the R-CADE. All you need to do now is to get the parts below and make a trip to the hardware store. Bring a pick-up truck.
That beat-up Barcalounger you normally game in isnt built for racing this intense. The Chrono Road however, is. Big bolsters and an adjustable seatback will help you game to your max.
SONY PS3
Sporting a new, slim body and a price drop, the PS3 is a great fit with the R-CADE. Especially with 120 gigs of memory at your disposal to save those highlight reels.
SAMSuNG LN40B550
Packing 40-inches of high-def, LCD displaying power, this Samsung will help make the action on screen seem more real than your commute to the office.
LOGITECh G27
The G27 packs a proper 3-pedal arrangement along with a shifter and leather wrapped wheel, helping make it the most realistic steering setup available. Perfect for a game like Shift.
LOGITECh G51
Your racing experience isnt complete without sound, and the G51 delivers. Its a 155-watt, 5.1 surround sound speaker and subwoofer system thatll shake your core with every crash.

HERES A TIP! Measure twice, cut once and then measure once again. Unless you are using a CNC mill for cuts, there is a good chance that your dimensions may differ slightly requiring you to adjust your measurements along the way.

NEED TO KNOW! Average lumber is nominally measured, meaning a 2x4 is actually only 1.5 x 3.5.

Cut a sheet of MDF to spec. For a proper fit one edge needs to be angled.

LEFT SIDE WALL ASSEMBLY
GLUE IS STRONG! While nails will be used throughout this build, the glue is what really holds it all together. Be sure to use clamps during set-up after you glue and before you nail.

RIGHT SIDE WALL ASSEMBLY

NO NAIL GUN? If you cant borrow, rent or steal one, depending on your skill you can use a hammer and nails, or small-head square drive screws, but these will leave much larger holes to fill later.
