Initial D to Outrun 2 conversion project...

[OldFoo]

Popular conversion at the moment it seams & I'd thought I'd use ID as it makes a good cheap way to get a Sega Universal driver cab:



Here is how it started:







Whilst ID is not a bad game, its also not really a quick blast kinda game like OR2 & artwork...well :smt013 not to mention the bus steering wheel :smt019



Time to tidy things up inside:











Add a RJ45 splitter for easy unplugging of the .net cable:







Add 1 Chihiro & .net dimm for easy game loading:







Personally I'm not a fan of coin towers for home use & the monitor remote board placement was horrendous so its all been moved to the side for ease of use:







Here is how she stands now, next to my New Astro City which is just visible:







More to come, just getting the sides repainted Red & new art applied, smaller topper as not a fan of the original, along with the Scud race dash, OR2 wheel + more this week...



Thanks to AGS for supplying ID sac cab, all parts, painting service & art.

Never played ID myself really but understand you're turning it into OR2. Looking forward to see some more.

Well after a busy at the bank followed by a trip to Andy's to pick up:



Outrun 2 side artwork L&R

OR2 seat artwork

Scud dash, OR2 wheel, badge & artwork for dash

Base floor middle section repainted black instead of the pointless grey

L&R Driver sides painted in Ferrari red

New shifter inc base plastic

View change/start panel inc buttons & artwork



I started the re-build...

[OldFoo]

First up take some sides:







Apply some art & screw to the upper base:







Finish the re-build, put the new dash on inc wheel, apply yet more art ect & there you have it:







Few things left to do to complete:



Apply the art to the seat back & put it back.

Get a shifter upper plastic.

Sort out the lit topper & marquee (MCS)



Still I'm quite impressed on this projects progress

[OldFoo]

very fast method ... very nice :smt004

[OldFoo]

Respect..! Very well done.. I guess the MIDI Motor Drive board from ID is compatible with OR2?

[OldFoo]

Yes as is all wiring hence why ID is the game of conversion choice, even for Sega themselves

[OldFoo]

That's some progress. Looking goooood!

[OldFoo]

Awesome conversion.
