In addition to admiring the work and planning and troubleshooting that went into this, I’m very impressed that you documented this so systematically as you were working (at least it seems that way). I’d probably stop remembering to do so after 2 hours. Thanks for posting this.
200 quids for 2 sega arcades? man that was a treasure find! Here in Brazil you re considered lucky to even come across one like that 🤣🤣🤣 Congrats on the video and the amzing project,really inspiring to all of us that dream about a daytona sitdown arcade in house, looking foward to a follow up on the systems and specs that you used!
After watching this multiple times I finally took the plunge and got myself an outrun 2 cab. Your video was extremely helpful in convincing my wife to let me have one.
Very nice indeed! This is great inspiration as to what's possible, and it's interesting to see your method of achieving a racing cabinet build. Thanks for the video.
I just found a guy near my place that sell arcade cabinets, I've been hunting for the perfect cabinet to convert into a racing sim. He has 4 Ferrari f355 cabs that are out of order. But its the same cab as this!! So this is an amazing resource for me to get into exactly what is going to be needed for this project. Thanks for such a thorough run down of what you're doing!
One question I have is the drawing that had the dimensions of the cabinet, where did you find that? I found the operators manual for the cabinet but cant find a diagram of sizes.
Weird... this 5 year old video just showed up in my feed. I watched it and thought "I'll have a mooch on ebay and look for arcade cabinets... only to find this very machine listed for £1,750.00.
Insanely incredible job! Only one bad element in this - logitech g27.. This is not at all what an arcade servo motor gives. You need a servo-driven steering wheel
Thanks Steve. It was great fun to build. As in the video I started out in wood and scrapped that. Cab’s come up all the time on eBay. Thanks for watching.
Hats off to the work you put in to restore and mod all of that but I would probably just go with the setup at 3:48. At the end of the day it's the same experience
Alright mate. I just seen your channel of Daz's arcade vid so thought I'd check it out. Gotta say that I'm mighty impressed with this. I did plan to do one myself at one point. But I struggle to fit in the sega racers (I'm 6ft3)so just bought a racing seat instead. Very detailed vid and interesting. You can't beat the sega racers.
Hi Mark thanks very much for watching. The Seat will go a fair bit back so if you ever wanted to do one I think you could just mount it right to suit you.
Awesome build! I would have loved to have gotten a twin myself! I just completed a very similar build, but mine isn't all complete yet and aesthetically it still needs a lot of work! My main objective was to keep the FFB from the arcade using the L2M2 mod which I've completed. It's now a matter of getting it looking the part and fixing up a lot of the frontend stuff of my build. Thanks for the video, it was a good watch on the train ride home from work which is roughly 1 hour so I had some time to spare :)
Hi Julius, thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Send us a link to yours when you are done. I don't blame you keeping the original wheel. The motor on it OMG you would not want to drop it on your foot. Setting up the front end isn't much fun to be honest. I find the Logitech software to be very hit and miss so you may save yourself a lot of grief your way buddy. Take Care.
@@Letstalkretro Thats for sure, there will be a Lot of questions. I do a Lot of Arcade diy projects. Virtual Pin was my Last, but now it's time for a Race Cab 👍🏻
That looks amazing and that price was a total bargain. I'd have driven to the UK to get it if I had my eye on it. Unfortunately I have no room for such a beast. If I had.. I'd have tried to keep it a dual cabinet!
Interesting. Did you plug in and try to start up the machines when you first bought it?? You went from buying it to immediately disassembling it. You didn't tell us if they actually powered on or not.
Bravo my friend. Amazing cab and work. Hopefully i will have a racing cab to work. Now my main question is do you think its possible to reuse the arcade pedals and steering wheel?
Hold on. You bought 2 racing arcade machines. According to the video, you restored one of them. What did you do with the 2nd Racing machine? Is it sitting in storage?
Back three years later for another watch. You did a superb job on that machine man, all the details are spot on. Hope you're still playing it! 👍🙂 Edit. Oh yeah did you get the Mame games in there in the end?
Fantastic mate, so is it mame your running on the PC? would have been nice to of known the total cost (offset against those parts you sold i guess?) also what did you do with the other machine (i can see you parted out some of the 1st machine parts)
Hay. Yep at the moment it’s just running a sega model 2 and 3 emulator. I’m going to set up mame very soon. Ive got the list of games that I want just got to do the hard bit and set it up. I sold the other half and other bits like the monitors for roughly £200. It all worked out about £250 spent excluding the pc gear. The new seat runners were £25. I paid £100 for the wheel an pedals. I sold everything cheap and for spares just to cover myself. If you made it through 45 mins you did very well lol I tried to make it as entertaining as I could and tried to not make it just slideshow. Colin did the intro.
i watched the whole lot single sitting i thought it was bloody brilliant mate tbh! so the total outlay was only £50 once youd sold all the "spare" bits? that's excellent, you'll have to tell me more at the weekend
@@Letstalkretro Thank you - I was wondering this too! I'm immensely impressed with both your construction skills and your video-making ones too, I'd have guessed at much, much more than that. How long did it take you? 100 hours? 200?
Excellent work, that's outstanding, the only thing is that since you are making it yourself, why not go all the way and get a 55 inches monitor like in the Deluxe Sega Rally 3? By the way, I love Sega Touring Car, I also recommend Sega Suger GT, Sega Rally, Sega Rally 2, F355 Challenge, OutRun 2, Daytona USA, Daytona USA 2, Initial D Arcade Stage, Cruis'n USA, Cruis'n World, Cruis'n Exotica, GTI Club Rally Côte D'Azur, GTI Club Corso Italiano, and the Maximum Tune series.
fablog93 they were in a bad condition really corroded. I cleaned them up as best I could then decided against them. Maybe the wrong decision but at least I have a clutch now.
I really enjoyed watching this restoration and build. So much work went into it and the outcome is amazing. I can’t believe someone dumped it in a barn and let it rot, but you brought it back from the dead 👍🏻 btw, what did you do with the other half of the two player machine?
David Campbell thanks for watching. At the moment I’m sorting a front end using high res original cabinet art. I’m using coinops. A very talented artist is helping with the graphics. Just finding people with the cabs to take original photos is very difficult. Outrun is coast to coast the pc version. It does have some bugs sadly :-(
@@squaretops1 hi Alan. Thanks for watching. Sadly I had to sell the machine. Still miss it. What you have suggested would totally work with the ps emulator setup. Happy Gaming.
Would love to do the same, but in germany arcade cabinets and especially racing cabinets are hard to find. And if you find one, they'll often cost between 1000-5000€🙁
Hi thanks for watching. Maybe one day you could get one from the uk and drive it home in a van? I think you could get one for 400-600 euro and then you would have the ferry and van cost so should be close to 1000 euro. If you decide to look good luck.
Is this cabinet the same as an inital d3 cabinet. I just bought one and waiting for it to be delivered. I will need to take it appart to bring it into the basement. The seller told me its not possible to take it apart but the cabinet at least in picture looks similar to your sega touring cab.
I have a similar cabinet that I'm currently working on. It's a Daytona USA that used to be part of a twin cab setup as well. The wheel setup I'm using is also the G27. I didn't want to cut up my dash so I had a local company 3D print a hub extender so I can keep the base of the wheel hidden inside the cab and bolt it in place from below. Then I just reconnect the wheel to the hub extender). What I'm really struggling with is the location of the shifter. You came up with a good idea but do you find it's too high? I would try implementing it inside the original shifter casing but then I lose all the controls such as the d-pad and buttons etc... So now I'm leaning towards making a little base for it to the right side of my seat like it would be in a car. Lastly, have you considered removing your pedals from the base and reverse mounting them to your cab? I think you would like it a lot better and give it a nicer look. Just my opinion though. For my setup I'm going to run CoinOps front end on a PC and also a modded Playstation 3. Anyways, thank you for your detailed video as it is helping me a lot. Thanks. Cheers from Canada.
Just picked up a very similar cabinet (Sega "Nascar arcade") and plan to do a very similar thing however im trying to find a way to keep the original wheel right now I'm thinking I'll just extend the pc wheel steering column and attach that to the original wheel column
Hi block_master77 thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck with your build. I think someone made an encoder for the pedals and the original wheel. The Logitech wheel housing could be modded but it would take more brains than I have. If I can be of any help just ask.
@@Letstalkretro someone did make a adapter board to use the original stuff but they are no longer available and I can't seem to find them anywhere sadly
Why didn't you use both cabinets so you can play 2 player simultaneously? If you did 2 cabinets, how would you go about syncing them? I am looking to securing a pair of old racing cabinets like you did and swapping the cpu boards to play multiple games but do not know how to sync the games for 2 players, whether its arcade games or console games.
Hi thanks for watching. Sadly it might have been a big mistake selling the other half. I’m a bit pushed for space. I think it went to a good home. As for the multiplayer I think the emulator handles that.
@@Letstalkretro Yeah I hear "netplay" may be able to be used, but I have yet to see any videos showing local netplay, it's like i'm the only person in the world that wants to do this
Hi thanks for the comment. I really need to check that out. People adore that game. I’ve seen and played it only the once in the arcade. I know there’s many versions. Thanks for watching.

3:48 WOW! That's my old racing setup. I miss having the space for that. Spent so many hours in that seat
Hats off to the work you put in to restore and mod all of that but I would probably just go with the setup at 3:48. At the end of the day it's the same experience

That would be amazing. Thanks for watching.

Thank you. Trust me if I can do this anyone can.
Alright mate. I just seen your channel of Daz's arcade vid so thought I'd check it out.

shame about the gear stick implementation. you should have integrated the logitech unit into the original casing. it looks terrible the way it is now.
