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.

hey, do u mind posting some pics how u mounted it? i just picked up a playseat, but my g27 is still being shipped to me so i'm kinda finding it hard to visualize adding a bar...

Make sure you get the m6 bolts for your wheel. You will need them anyways so might aswell buy them b4 the wheel comes in.

Whats holding you back?? Only takes 2 minutes.

european 11-02-2010 05:47 PM

gilly!!! That's wicked!

I'll post detailed pictures for you guys on how I mounted the pedals soon. I've just been busy lately.

Jegz 11-04-2010 11:49 PM

Where do you guys buy your playseats?!? GT5 coming out and i dont have one :(
And i still have my g25 in my closet :cry:

european 11-05-2010 05:40 AM

Sorry guys I didn't have time snapping some photos of how I mounted my pedals. I'll do it soon. Sorry for the delay I've been using all of my spare time to find exhaust gaskets that will work with my Mugen exhaust aaargh these things are so hard to find and no kingmotorsports doesn't have them.

Amazon.com!!! Get it shipped to a post office or something and just bring it across yourself that's what I did. The box that it all comes in is pretty small. It all fit in the front passenger seat of my Prelude so you should be good if you're worried about that... or just get it shipped directly to your house. You can also get it from smoketronics.com which I believe is within Canada. Shipped from Toronto. I got mine from amazon.com it was on sale and I got free overnight shipping :)

Hakkaboy 11-05-2010 07:32 AM

dont worry just take your time european. i can live w/ mounting the pedals "normally" for now

and jegglez, off the top of my head when i was shopping for playseats evo:

amazon.com: 329.99 usd + free shipping to US (US tax + HST)
amazon.ca: 349.00 cad + free shipping to CAN (+HST)
smoketronics on ebay: 329.99 + 30 shipping to CAN(US prices + HST)

I just got a G27 today, my seating position sucks so I have to paddle shift but damn it's fun, I can't wait to build a full rig for it.

Any mods or tweaks you guys suggest doing right off the bat for longevity/better experience? I got it used but it's only 2.5 months old and I have the reciept so I'd like to keep the warranty intact.

G-spec 01-02-2012 11:20 PM

^ Logitech is very fair with their warranty from my experience, I count on 2 separate occasions they had sent me a new set of pedals and all I did is just call in tell them the original set was squeaking or something minor, just gave the people the part number off the sticker on the back of of the pedals aaand got to keep the old set of pedals as well as a beater set for practicing heel toe shifting, lol

this was my experience with them, both times positive, one pedal set was from the driving force gt and the other set was for the g27

european 01-03-2012 07:40 AM

Congrats on the new toy!
I purchased my G25 years ago and I still love it everytime I use it. I took the pedals out of the case and flipped them. Got a larger steering wheel and tightened up shift box thingy so it feels like it has a heavier shift. I got around to installing the e-brake handle as well but I'm still working on something to mount the ebrake.

I'm still rocking this, yet need to find something that can collapse and store in a closet.

You might like the Playseat Evolution. They don't really collapse but you can shorten it after you're done playing. And if you really wanted to you can fold down the seat in half.
I guess its slightly similar to what you currently have. If you slide the plate that the pedals and bar for the steering wheel under the IKEA seat, it would probably be about the same length as the Playseat Evolution once shortened.
I don't think there is one that can fold up into a little 4x4 box or space heh. And if there is and someone knows about it please tell us as I want one too!!
