I just upgraded my PC gaming setup, so my trusty Thrustmaster wheel / pedal setup can go to a new home.

USB or game port connection
Force feedback (a pretty good one too)
Paddle shifters on the wheel and a sequential shifter next to the wheel
2 thumb controllers for things like looking around, controlling pit stops....
Gas and brake pedal combo
Software CD

This was a great wheel in it's day, seems like a decent setup now is ~100, so how about $25? It still works perfectly.

I can send a picture if anyone would like and I can bring to MSR-C.

Thanks,
Jeff

I'll get it from you at Cresson and we can talk about the other s parts I need. :)

Sweet. I'll shoot you an email about the other parts. I just got real swamped this week and didn't make enough time to get into the garage to go dig around.

After Jeff sells his, I also have a Thrustmaster wheel setup for sale if anyone's interested.

Jeff...did you go with the creme de la creme G25?
(I still want one.)

Yeah. We have a special deal on certian items through work with Logitech. All of a sudden the G25s started showing up with a great price. I could not help it, I simply had to upgrade. :)

I wish. He looks to be aligned with Ferrari on his site ;) For my discount it would need to be the BMW team....

I built my own. A little bordem, some spare fence rails, and a welder and poof!

I need to modify it for the G25 now so the shifter is in the exact correct position for a Camaro. Glad you mentioned Bob Earl. I needed to google it to figure out what the heck you were talking about, but I like his setup for the G25 shifter....

Daddy got tired of losing while trying to drive with his thumbs.
The new unit came with the G25 shifter mount and better foot base...just waiting a bit to upgrade (until after the kids aren't so tough on the equipment!)
...O guess it's time to clean the camera lens. :roll:

Wow, pimp setup. You even have a fan to simulate the wind in your hair!

I haven't felt wind in my hair in 15 years...but that's beside the point. :wink:

As I'm sure you know, Jeff...run a few laps around the Nurbergring and you start to sweat like crazy. That and the room it's in has poor circulation, so the fan is a must.

The Bob Earl setups are nice, but I'd much rather have a standard seat like you have Jeff. These seats flex and are a pain to get into and out of. Someday I'll bolt some real seats down but for now, they work great.

I'm sure the G25 is the cats meow...definately look & feel much better. Let me know if you have any regrets after using yours for a bit.
