I never liked the 10inch diameter wheel that the G25 came with, it felt too light as well. So I swapped that out with a 320mm momo wheel and flipped the pedals that came with the G25. They're just way too close together and I like the Honda style instead of the Mercedes/BMW style that it original comes in. I want to install an e-brake as well but I need to create/mount some it to something first. But I think it would be more of a cosmetic thing for me as I do not drift much on GT5P if it is necessary to do so when the full game is released then I'll consider it.

love your set up, how much did the chair and momo wheel cost you? Was it easy modding the pedals?

Rock solid! Doesn't move at all. I mounted some legs to the floor board so it is pretty sturdy. I have the pedals resting up against the legs of my table which my TV stands on just in case as well. And it doesn't vibrate the table as well.

Thanks! The G25 is really easy to modify. Just take the casing off, disconnect the wires, flip the pedals, reconnect wires, then mount it to your frame and you're done!
The momo wheel was 56 dollars plus another 40 to ship from Japan off eBay. It said 2-3 weeks for delivery when it only took 6 business days.
The Playseats Evolution was 299 from Amazon.

Yea I paid 299 USD from Amazon with free overnight shipping and picked it up from a PO box in Blaine the next day. The dollar was low as well back then so the exchange rate was next to nothing. Brought it across and customs did not charge me any duty or other taxes. I was surprised because I declared it at the border and even handed the customs officer the invoice.

The guy asked... Oh neat, is it that vibrating one? I replied... No sir, it's just like a Recaro or Sparco racing seat attached to a frame and you use it with your Playstation or computer. He then said alright, see you. I guess I got lucky? I saved some money right there. haha.

The Playseat Evolution is pretty mod friendly I'd say. It's pretty much made for the Logitech G25 so you can reuse the existing screw holes to mount the pedals. Just get creative and reinforce it so if you are worried about "rat bagging" the pedals they should be good to go if done correctly.

It's not tan, it's white with some black. The lights in my room are not the greatest.
Don't know how much the cloth ones are I remember when I was searching for one they were a bit cheaper though but I don't think by much.
You can get one from smoketronics they have both black and white in stock and its 340.99 plus 50 to ship via Canada Post.

I recommend both G25 or G27 and a Playseats if one can afford it. It's makes the gameplay experience completely different and in my opinion much better and at times may be challenging.

Does the Momo wheel bolt right on? I have a Momo Jet wheel lying around...

I brought an OEM playseat evo from craigslist... the seat looks a bit different from the playseat site but the frame is kind of the same... it comes with gear shift holder for $240. he said he used but everything seems unused with plain packaging. maybe you guys can try....

nice vid! how did you mount the inverted pedals to the frame of the playseat? did you have to add some sort of bar? i assume the pedals were still relatively stable without resting on your table as in this pic?

Thanks! I got some L shaped brackets from home depot with a few bolts, nuts and washers. Along with a bar that I cut in have. Drilled some holes into the bar and mounted everything together. Yes its very stable. Barely moves at all.
