I was also thinking a keyboard platform cantilevered off to the side of where you sit might be better IMO, so it's not obscured under the wheel and/or hitting you in the knees.

The pedal mounts allow normal pedal mounting w/ 3 adjustable tilt positions, plus the mounting of my PC pedals which are over mounted (like most real cars) with 2 adjustable tilt positions.
This is just a quick set of drawings I threw together within the limitations of Visio. If you look at it w/ the grid lines Visio has during drawing it's much easier to see dimensions. Plus, all the dimensions will likely change anyway once I pull the seat out of the WRX and sit in it and measure myself.
The goal is to have a frame that can hold a wheel, plus room for stashing a keyboard and a mouse on it. Plus a lower side table for a shifter on the right. I'm thinking about making it symmetrical so it can also be used for a flight stick/throttle... but that would drastically limit ingress/egress. Currently there's a ton of space on the left to get in/out of the thing w/o having to slide the seat.
I'm also attempting to make the pedal box and seat mount adjustable via several mounting holes between the sub-frames. So you can move the pedals or seat back/forward in 2" increments. That's in addition to the retained factory seat rails that provide finer fore/aft and height adjustment.
I'd be building this myself... as the tools and skill needed to build it would be useful for race car work as well.
