Dawmmmm its got paddle shifters too...lol

I'm gonna built my own once I have a bigger place

lecatrache · 11-01-2008, 05:45 AM

It really doesn't take too much space.
When I'm not using it, I slide it next to a wall and it's pretty much out of the way.

ska325xi · 11-01-2008, 11:00 AM

I notice one down side......you need to use your left foot for the brakes, not sure if I like that

TheAcAvenger · 11-01-2008, 11:08 AM

Man, I used the original playseat and the first logitech wheel back when ps3 was out. Takes me back!

The_Blob · 11-01-2008, 07:36 PM

How much did cost for the entire package? I must say that driving in real life is way way way more satisfying ( 1 million times) than playing video driving games. Well, if you're too young to drive, video games are the only way to go.

You fools are going to make me spend more money! ; )

The seat, which I just bought on Amazon, was $325.
The wheel and pedal is a Microsoft Xbox Wireless Wheel, was $150 when I purchased it 2 years ago, but now they are a lot cheaper ($89.99 on Amazon).

So the total package is around $415 + tax (shipping usually free).

I just bought the "Playseats Classic" on ebay for $120...its got Alcantara seats..LOL

not as good as the revolution but not bad for $120

anyone know what battery is used in the Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel??

Great, congratulations!
The xbox wheel can be connected to the power outlet for force feedback - for the wireless part, 2 AA batteries are required (just like the regular xbox controllers).

darkphantom · 11-03-2008, 02:20 PM

you guys seriously need to jump on the G25...have it......works GREAT:

i'm sure you guys can get this setup too, if you're crazy enough:

evolution 2 racing seat...

I don't have space for this...

ska325xi · 11-03-2008, 08:11 PM

Holy Shietz....I want to put those in my E90

no, gay microsoft doesn't allow the G25 on the 360....head over to the fanatec website for the porsche steering wheels, they work with all 3 systems! (specific models)

so this would include everything you need (wheel, pedals, stick shift) right? I have a 360 btw

http://www.fanatec.de/webshop/new_us...df32c4bd1e148e

seriously considering this since Forza is coming out

Prowess Symphony · 09-07-2009, 07:32 PM

Nice! Id never get away with that though. Now if I could just get the wheel and the manual pedals id be happy. I think this inspired me to check out my options.

darkphantom · 09-07-2009, 07:48 PM

I'd say keep a budget for the rest, but snag that 911 wheel....about to be sold out

p.s. they have this now:

That is, the G25 but with 6 mounted buttons and LED shifter gauge!

and fortunately, they took out that whack "two in one" combo with the 6spd+triptonic...

lecatrache · 03-05-2010, 08:20 AM

^^^

I like that manual shifter.

Tuned1M · 12-29-2011, 03:43 PM

Bumping this thread because I'm now in the market for a setup like the ones mentioned here. I can no longer handle playing Forza 4 with the controller so I'm now leaning towards the Evolution seat and the mircosoft wheel/pedals. Any other options out there I should consider? Was looking at the Fanatec but not sure I want to drop $500+ on a complete wheel/clutch/pedal setup.

I think there was a good discussion on this in the GT5 thread, maybe even a standalone GT5 wheel setup thread.

A lot of the guys in this thread I don't recognize as being really active anymore so maybe you'd have better luck in the more recently spawned threads.
