Just put the finishing touch on my rig

Warning: This is what happens when you've done all the modding you want to your VW and you turn your hand to other pursuits!

I thought I would share this as some of you have similar interests. Finished today, fitting a Momo Mod 26 Formula wheel to my sim rig. I had to use a special adapter to fit the wheel but it's a nice improvement over the stock wheel and feels great while racing.

It's taken over a year of bits and pieces here and there to build all this to the point where it's starting to feel right when racing. I need to get some of the cables sorted now.








Cheers,

Love it. Obviously it is the LHD model, I can tell by the beer shifter on the RHS.

[AusScare]

haha what a wicked setup. Sadly though, there are no good games these days. Yes I said it.

Take your car to the track instead???

[No457 Snowy]

Admittedly, all I use it for is iRacing, there's no other games on it. I just enjoy racing in events against other humans in a well organised structured environment and it still gives me sweaty hands and a general buzz. The racing is very tough, and while it may be "virtual", the competition is very real.

wow, nice set up.

i like what you have done with the g25 shifter.

i have the same speakers and steering wheel so it seems im about 1/16th of the way to a rig like that

He mentioned iRacing

That's totally ridiculous, I love it! Do you wear a racing helmet? I know a kid who has a similar setup and wears a helmet and gloves

[isaw]

No, I don't wear gloves but since fitting the new Momo wheel, which has a suede finish on it, I've used it for about 2 hours and ended up with my hands stained black. It wouldn't wash off either.

That's awesome - Id love to have a set up like that, either for car racing or flight simulator (I am a big plane buff, more so than cars).

Hi,
My family got a PS3 for Xmas and one of the games I bought was the classic "Sega Rally" I found one of the cars available was a MKV Golf GTI complete with VW livery....nice.
