I've talked to the seller, he said everything is exactly like the playseat, except he actual seat itself. I plan to do this sometime on Friday, Sept 17, so lets make the due date for numbers on Friday @ 1PM, i'll be able to text the seller by then and give him the approximate numbers we'll need and we can meet up around 49th and Elliot (Killarney Market) to check out the quality and stuff before buying.

Good news!! The guy who brings these in is actuallyy buddys friend, he sells it to the guy who runs xgameseat, so he's willing to sell the seat with the gearshift for 250. He only has 6 left and I'm claiming one of them tmrw. Quality is probably 95% similar to the playseat, only difference is how the seat mechanism locks up when you fold it. Pm me your numbers if interested... Posted via RS Mobile | |

you can fold it? i'd be tempted at 250. Can you ask the guy for the dimensions..i wonder if it will fit in my living room?
does he actually have a store or is it just a meet-up location? if it's the former i'm guessing it's cash price with no taxes?
put me down for interested.

i will be picking it up tomorrow, since i am doing it straight from my buddy's friend. Unforunately i don't have the dimensions. you can try checking playseats dimensions, its basically the exact same thing. he doesn't have a store, he brings it in frm overseas and stores it in a storage. cash only, no taxes, you can try/sit before u buy. I sat on one today and it was really good! I used to have a playseat so i can compare.
If anyone's interested please PM me and i can give you his contact info if you are serious

I picked up a similar playseat, but it doesn't say xgame on the side, the quality is okay, one down side is the frame is slanted to left, so I just put a piece of cardboard of the left, to make it higher = balance again Posted via RS Mobile | |

^^^
thanks for that, i'll be sure to check that out. Was it like that from the begining or was it something that slowly degraded overtime?
I actually got the chance to sit on the seat yesterday and it was really good considering that it is sold for 250$. I used to have a playseat and in comparison to that, everything was the same, except for the seat of course. The playseat had a heavier and more of a solid feel to the seat. The foams were very firm compared to the xgameseat, but all in all i think its a good buy for 250$

I might call him later on after work. If you dont mind giving him a heads up I'd like to p/u one today aswell.

Id give it 7/10 But then i dont know what the playseat is like.
Pros: Comfotable to sit in, better than sitting in my computer chair and leaning forward then to have a sore back after a racing session.. Does what you want it to do not much more to it.
Cons: You get what you pay for.. This is what I would consider a chinese knock off of the playseat.. No complaints but thats just what i would compare it too. Shifter is in good position, steering wheel could use just a little more angle. I feel my knee always touching the bottom of the wheel and cant do anything about it without a awkward position.. Pedal base is offset but not enough. Everytime I heel toe my knee slams into centre pole. I think it could use another inch to the right. Wiring is a mess havent figured that out yet. Do not wrap wires around the poles when setting up your position as I did and ended up having to rewire everything as I made them too taunt when i needed more room. There is a piece that covers the bottom of the pedals mine was pretty wishy washy as one of the screws doesnt screw all the way through because they missed the whole by a few mm.... So i just opted out and didnt use it as my pedals are screwed into the base.. As someone stated above this unit does wobble but if on carpet this is not noticeable. Getting in and out of the seat is a little uncomfortable but maybe thats because i'm just fat. Also the cushion of the seat doesnt stap in anywhere so its easy to pop out.. Dunno if thats good or bad but just doesnt seem right.
Installation instructions
Mounting onto the gameseat. Bolts were not included. All components are screwed into the seat using M6x16 bolts(You need a little longer if you want some on the bottom of the pedals as these are a little further but i just screwed in the 2 on the top and its good.). These can be found in the nuts and bolts aisle @ home de pot. I found mine in the carousels (SP?). You need a minimum of 6 plus 2 longer ones if you want for the bottom of the pedals but not nessesary as its already screwed in with 2 at the top.
You have to remove the one center mount on the shifter. There are 4 screws. 2 easily visible and the other 2 right beside it deep in the shifter (hidden)
Back rest of seat does fold down by unhooking 2 cane pins in the back covered by velcro.
Conclusion:
All in all $250 you cant go wrong.. Because if you want the playseat your guarantee to be spending $600+ new. Plus if you have a drill most of the issues can be fixed.

Just text marco, he will tell you where to meet and confirm $250 thats all. I met him at his place near grandview and boundary.
You could get rid of the wobbling if you put rubber pads on both ends but thats about it.
BTW I mentioned nothing about revscene to marco, so i'm just assuming thats his price.
