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.

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.

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

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, 01:08 PM

Nice setup.

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

Alchemy · 10-04-2011, 01:10 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, 01:18 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, 01:22 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!!!
