The Steering wheel is a Logitech G25, the best part about it, is that it is 6spd gate shifter :P

here is the link for further information

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/ga...s/131&cl=ca,en

I play games like Test Drive Unlimited (my favorite because of the force feedback which is so amazing), Race 07, GTR2, and also a bit of NFS Carbon.

The seat is a 100% authentic and rare 1991 Integra LS drivers seat. Mint condition with no rips or burns and its better than most after market racing seats.

Dont worry tho, we are purchasing a 42" HDTV so that it is much better.

Please also note the Cup Holder (for when cruising in TDU :P)

Thanks for looking.

The wheel is amazing... me and my brothers built it, took us a couple hours... no more, but probably less, yea... Im gonna hang my TV on my wall, so that its more realistic sorta, right now the computer screen does the job... but cant wait for HD , thanks for the comments guys.

1DA2NV - How do u like your wheel, i love it man, it takes a beating, when u get really into racing games, I start shifting hard and clutching in hard and everything, and it still works perfect. I get really into racing games probably more so because of the setup, but still loads of fun.. I recommend this wheel to any and everyone!

You bastard! That's the wheel I want to get when GT5 comes out

How do the pedals feel? Heard each one has a different stiffness.


edit: Didn't even know this was released in Canada yet. Where did you buy it & how much if you don't mind me asking?

RSXR : Its from my 91 Integra LS

Ednyboo : Im workin on it.. in a couple weeks when I get my TV and put it up on my wall in my room, then we move it upstairs.

Onelankan: haha.. but yea its a place called tdDirect

http://www.tddirect.ca/products/4589...H/963416_0403/

the pedals are amazing, and as previously said take a beating for when u get into it, and YES.... cannot wait for GT5... its going to be too sick, I used it on the GTHD and GT Prologue demos and its so brutally amazing.

yea.. its not really expensive, just like 250 for the wheel, then you can build the rest by yourself.
