1 fail pedal stand and i still managed to screw up all the angles. note hone books once finger heals ill fix it.




the seating is not very good and comfortable and dont have to push my ankles at werid angles to brake now as the pedals are now near vertical.

Ouch is all i can say lol!

Its not so hard to make a simple frame, i made one years ago, but dont have it any more, (i should draw up how i did it sometime). Then i got a car seat from a friends unlicensed car, which meant the seat was then fully adjustable too, all for under $50. Was going to make another one in same way, but decided to order from wheelstandpro.com.au

I made this one a couple of years ago. A go-kart seat, track-ir, 2 bass-shakers. Was a great piece of kit, was sad when it couldnt come with when i moved. I'll build a new one soon though

Dark home theatres don't make for great photography. Here's my simpit, minus my office chair equipped with Buttkicker (a gadget that I've grown to love, and would highly recommend)




The camera tripod is my impromptu TrackIR mount. I've also just discovered that I can use my Wireless Xbox 360 headset for the in-game radio - it's even more immersive to hear my spotter and VOIP via the headset, while all car audio comes via my surround sound.

I'm offering $50 for a sneaky-snap of Bennett in full leathers, helmet and gloves on that rig... we all know he's just a step away from the deep-end with this

@Bennett
that is sexy as hell. Love those pedals.
I made a change to the brake as i didnt like the default brake pedal stroke. it felt liek the brake was going to the floor. instructions are here http://www.youtube.com/user/Fanatec1#p/u/4/54iQktxDQOM
can be a bit fiddly but worth it imo.

What I want to know is, can he write all that off as a work expense and get it all back because he's a games journo..

But of course! It makes up for the less than stellar wages

A fair trade off I think!

How does one qualifify as a games journo?

/contemplates setting up a shitbox website and putting reviews on it for certain "perks"..

Most PR managers have caught on to that one - if your site doesn't appear in the Nielsen Market Intelligence report, as a result of a large audience, you won't get jack.
