I think that is one end of the shift mounting, why it is so long on one end I have NO idea. He REALLY needs to hard mount his wheel. I actually have a similar Setup (iRacing is a better game):

[ilvtofu]

I was playing on this earlier today, I really didn't like the 6 speed shifter because it's too light, feels cheap and kinda imprecise, often from 2nd to 3rd i found myself shifting into 5th, also NEEDS A HANDBRAKE >.< okay maybe not...

The guy in the first video has a pretty shitty set up btw, just a nice looking seat and silly costume...

BTW anyone played nfs shift on this? it's crap on the wheel,you'll find yourself recalibrating the wheel constantly.. , but for a more realistic game go for it :)

[Vancouver240sx]

Agreed ilvtofu the G25 shifter is the weakest part of the wheel and feels like an afterthought to me. Where it does lack in that aspect it really gains in the smoothness and preciseness of the gears for the actual wheel (the most important part imho).

Some reasons why I play iracing:

laser scanned tracks and fantastic physics... Makes lfs feel 1 dimensional and anything you will play on a console feel like... just an arcade console game

[Vancouver240sx]

Ya it is pay to play... but in my opinion it is worth it. The development team is constantly releasing new cars, tracks, physics, options, versions of the website ect. I am quite happy to pay for this kind of quality.

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?

rich

[ilvtofu]

^That's not fair! :cry:
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

[+Kardboard+]

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. :lol

[Hondaracer]

lol today when i was looking at some of these i was thinking of even just ripping a whole drivers console and interior out of a car and building one, but i think that might be overkill lol

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

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

I meant shifting with your LH instead of RH!

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

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

[+Kardboard+]

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

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

or anyone know any local distributors?

[hk20000]

one thing I think the G25 needs is a heavier shift knob so the shifting is not so effort-less. The way the shift knob is mounted, though (screw from the top of the shift knob down to the shaft), means the only way to do it is buy a Mercedes Benz shift knob......that's kind of expensive.

I was looking at the obutto but found it a bit of a pain to get one into vancouver and after putting on all the add-ins the size/price was an issue. Not easy to see in my picture from earlier, this is my current rig.

http://www.gameracer.co.uk/images/xl_image_GRACC003_b.jpg

I have to admit, it wobbles a little due to using a fairly heavy monitor, however, I don't seem to notice it while I am playing. And it was a pretty decent price.

[getalove]

^^ hmm that doesn't seem like its stable haha :P
and its like for 600 bucks?

[Vancouver240sx]

If I have the monitor off it is VERY stable, but with a 22 inch monitor being the highest point when I start fighting the FF it does move. But as I said before, I never notice it, your vision in a car isn't exactly stable and I seem to be ok at that :P.

I believe I paid just over $500 with shipping and 2 extra pieces onto the base gameracer.
