I bought a Wheel Stand Pro for under $200 and its perfect for the couch or chair or whatever. Much cheaper than a seat, but obviously the seat is top notch but $$$!. I would recommend it if you can afford it because it can be used in many different setups as it is fully adjustable, and folds away so the wifey doesnt get too mad haha.

Yes, its solid. I honestly thought i was wasting my money but after getting it, im glad.. The only thing ive noticed is that depending on how you sit, if you lean that steering wheel forward a lot, sometimes the front end of where the pedals can lift up slightly (if that makes sense). I found it was because my couch cushions are long and i was sitting back too much and readjusted.

Also with that stand, you bolt down the steering wheel, shifter and pedals if you wish (all hardware included), makes it pretty solid...

The thing weighs in at like 30 lbs...

There is nothing like playing a racing game in a sim chassis.

I've posted pictures of my setup earlier but here is a new photo.

OK alchemy, I need drifting help. What's a good car to learn with? Is it like in real life Where I Can just use s-15. What would be the suspension/tire set up? What else?

ZMAN, one of my fav cars is the premium s13. Most drifters use comfort hard tires. Right now Im in love w the premium 300zx. The hard part about learning to drift is that how the car reacts online is dif then offline. Online the cars feel much more slippery.

Damnit everytime I see this thread it reminds me that I haven't played this game enough!

I have a feeling I will start playing it again once summer is over :(
