I'm going to be home all this week if anyone want to do some online racing. Today might be a little difficult but I should be available Tuesday thru Friday to race.

Finally got some GT5 time in yesterday starting with the Super GT seasonal races!

I haven't been able to play in months after everything was going on with the network being down :mad:

MC 07-04-2011 03:56 PM

ive kind of hit a wall..... im at level 34 on Aspec and Bspec

ive got gold on all the seasonals ( igot silver on that last expert event)

ive got 20 Mil credits and i feel letting my PS3 run all day to level up in Bspec is now pointless

Its a Gameracer Pro. I forget what I paid. Prob around $400. I feel it could be priced lower although it is nicely built. All the adjustibility you need. People think the steering post in the middle is the flaw with this design but its not in the way at all. It folds up so small I can fit it in the trunk of my Z!!!!

Zaggeron 08-16-2011 09:10 PM

Do you know how it compares with the new Playseat Revolution? The design looks very similar. I almost pulled the trigger on the Playseat, but I was worried about how sturdy it would be ...

Im sure it will be sturdy enough. My buddy has a playseat and he is prob like 225. It holds up. I chose mine cause i tend to travel to friends houses to game so I wanted something portable. I also like the fact that mine sits ultra low to the ground.

MC that seat looks awesome on yours!! Im jealous.

That's a sick seat. You should get a G27 to go with it.. you won't regret it.

Alchemy 08-16-2011 10:05 PM

^ill be gettin a g27 when this dies. Im a bit upset the g27 stick shift cant be locked into the slapshift position like the g25. I like manual but a full on 6sp gearbox is gonna end up costing me seconds on lap time. I like my slap shift. But yeah g27 is top notch.

I need a racing cockpit!!!

I've been looking at the OpenWheeler racing cockpit and perhaps the Thrustmaster T500RS wheel.

That new Fanatec wheel looks sick. I am going to order it along with the clubsport shifter and handbrake as soon as they are released. Hopefully it doesn't take 3 months to ship like the GT2 wheel.

MC 09-28-2011 05:22 PM

looks like DLC is finally coming at the end of OCT...so maybe this game isnt 100% dead yet!

Wow good time w the sls. Its a tough event. The leader is 1:14 last I saw. Ugh. I like the seasonals but ONLINE is where its at. I could race online w my wheel forever.

Eric 09-29-2011 06:15 AM

Online is where it is at! That's the only way that I play the game now,

Eric 10-04-2011 11:24 AM

Here are a few photos of my new project.

Not quite done yet but hopefully it will be usable very soon.

Red__Zed 10-04-2011 12:08 PM

Nice setup.


I need to pick up a wheel and stand. Not sure which to go with.

Alchemy 10-04-2011 12:10 PM

Nice Eric. Correct me if Im wrong but you said you dont have a wheel correct?? Which are you looking into/ what did you get?

Eric 10-04-2011 12:18 PM

I bought the Logitech G27 a couple weeks ago.

Which system are you on Red? Id suspect PS3 since you are in the gt5 thread. The GT force by Logitch is what I have. For the $130 it costs its amazing. I have been using mine for years and many times a week. It stands up to all the abuse I throw at it and I beat on it pretty hard. Very suprised at the quality. Though the Logitech G27 is where its at. The pedal feel is amazing and its fun as hell to drive a 6sp manual gearbox. The wheel itself is top notch w very realistic paddle shifters. My seat, the Gameracer Pro is one of the cheaper seats out there, around $400 it was I think, but has full adjustability and is just as good as the pricier seats. If you play racing games a wheel and seat make the experience 100x better.

Eric 10-04-2011 12:22 PM

All-in-all, I've spend around $100 for the materials minus the wheel. The G27 cost me $200 and the seats are from my '97 Eclipse. I had bought a leather interior for my Spyder 5 years ago and I kept the old seats. I'm so glad I did!

The materials consist of 2x4's, 1 sheet of 1/2" plywood, and 2 2x4' sheets of MDF and various bolts and screws. It should be quite sturdy.

I should be ready for GT5 Spec II!!!
