no i got my cockpit for like $289 best offer ( plus shipping) on ebay so i think it was about $360 to my door... im counting everything in the set up the TV and everything to make it like it is as you see. i bought the TV used from my brother for like $200 its just a 40" RCA plasma 1080p thats a few years old... it works fine for the set up as i didnt want to put a lot of money into a TV i would only use for the simulator.. i was going to fork out for a sound system or sound bar...but then i got the idea of the headphone and now i like that so much better anyway i got the DFGT back when it was $149. now you can get it for $99 or less

does anyone have a extra silver chrome paint they want to trade me for something?

Zaggeron · 08-14-2012, 07:16 PM

^^ isn't a can of Chrome Silver spray paint around $3.00? Or are you referring to something different.

edit: Doh! I got the completely wrong notion. You mean in-game paint chips lol!

I bought a Wheel Stand Pro for under $200 and its perfect for the couch or chair or whatever. Much cheaper than a seat, but obviously the seat is top notch but $$$!. I would recommend it if you can afford it because it can be used in many different setups as it is fully adjustable, and folds away so the wifey doesnt get too mad haha.

Yes, its solid. I honestly thought i was wasting my money but after getting it, im glad.. The only thing ive noticed is that depending on how you sit, if you lean that steering wheel forward a lot, sometimes the front end of where the pedals can lift up slightly (if that makes sense). I found it was because my couch cushions are long and i was sitting back too much and readjusted.

Also with that stand, you bolt down the steering wheel, shifter and pedals if you wish (all hardware included), makes it pretty solid...

The thing weighs in at like 30 lbs...
