I believe only certain Xbox wheels work for the xbox, the G25 and most others do not.

The one thing I have noticed about these rigs you guys post is field of view, don't you find the screen way too far away?

^That's not fair!
I'd imagine if it works with microsoft windows they should probably make it work with microsoft xbox too, oh well i guess I won't be buying a wheel until someone releases a good xbox/ps3 wheel

or at least wait till ps3 comes out to buy a used G25 they'll probably be under $200 by then

im just building my frame outa wood, if you do that you can just bolt your seat down to the frame, and if your seat has the sliders/rails built onto it, then it's as easy as that

Sooner or later I'll be ripping out my front seats. When that happens, I'll build the Home Depot-Volvo version of your set up, Hondaracer.

Why bother when you can drive a JDM car on the road these days.

Since we're having this dork fest i thought i'll post my set up
when i upgraded to the g25 my dad helped put together this racing stand for me

I attempted to spray paint racing stripes last month. It was meant to be used with the couch for viewing distance/audio sweetspot but it's a bitch moving it in/out





hooks to keep pedals stationary
the wires looks messy but it's actually quite tidy. I have the USB cord tucked into the floorboards so it seems almost like it's wireless

Building these controller setups is an attempt to replicate the driving/racing experience so why not take it one step further in a sense and make it "true" JDM

I know what you mean, what I meant was funny.

What's cheaper? Bona fide JDM or shifting on the left in your Rona-powered rig?

EDIT: twitchyzero, your dad is WIN.
