This one I started way back in January last year. I was in talks with someone with something really tasty, but it was just infeasible. So I took another direction and very very happy with the results.

Honda Civic Type R Gaming Chair

So I found a really nice passenger side seat out of a 2003 (face lift) Honda Civic Type R EP3.

These are not recaro's but rather Honda's own take on a bucket seat. They are a good alternative since the bolsters hug the body, but don't grip. This makes them relatively comfortable to sit on for long periods of time at a desk.

In this instance, I have opted to utilise the existing rails and ratchet mechanism, meaning I go can full gangster mode

The first thing I did, way back in January, was source the base of my seat. You can actually do this as cheap, or as expensive as you like.

I went for the middle of the road.

The black seat base and gas lift are really cheap (about £20 for the two).

I paid a little more for the aluminium star base, and went all out on the wheels, opting for ABEC 7 rollerblade wheels.

All of these parts can be found on Amazon/eBay really cheaply. I think the wheels were the most expensive at £25, but the rest came under £50. But you can get castor wheels for litrerally £2.

I then turned my attention to how I was going to mount the chair to the base.

I used a 500mm X 500mm 3mm steel base as a starting point. And opted to angle grind the EP3 seat to make it absolutely flush.

Smooth it all off and drill through the rails to give you fixing points to anchor your base to.

Do this for all four legs and smooth it all back, paint it and get ready for the next stage.

Next I designed the base given the measurements from the seat.

It's pretty simple really:

• Centralise the chair to the base
• Drill holes for the seat as per necessary
• Locate the center for the office chair base to mount to
• Affix it all together.

You'll want a set square to help locate where the seat needs to go (I'm using my mitotoyo one but any should be fine)

Drill your holes as per the diagram

Fix the chair to it making sure it all lines up nicely.

Now all you need to do is locate where the center is, for the office base should go.

Again you will want to use your combination set here.

Fix it all together with suitable nuts and washers

Now mount to the rest of your chair, sit back, relax and enjoy!
