G27's

dunno if you guys saw this thread on the G27 setups

[barraspalding]

I bought my G27 for $400 a while back, and built an adjustable stand to suit near any seat... tho mostly i'm on the couch.

Dont think i've dragged this thing out in near 6 months tho... another great investment

Interesting. Gives me something to think about, would just be a question of whether or not my couch puts me at the right height for the wheel

You could quite easily just cut the legs to modify the height. Or even add height pretty easily.

If you built "feet" for it due to needing height, it would also provide support/stability.

I actually cut about 2 inches off the front legs so the wheel leans nicely into me.

SO DOIT!!!

G27 $300

hyperdrive frame $200

I'm never gonna use, it'll stay in the box forever.

But I couldn't resist at that price.

Perhaps, I'll start to actually play some gt5.

[boiracer]

GT5 + G27 = different game.

do it! and at taht price , i might buy a second one

Been reading over this thread and a few more reviews.

Looks like I'll be needing a decent wheel stand. Cbf making one and the ionrax looks good. Can fold away too; which is good coz I've got minimal space where the ps3 is set up.

And the deal is still on as of this moment.

If it's the one that just came up on JB's website for $369, I would not waste $370 on that thing....Spend a $100 extra and you can get a full cockpit setup with a seat

[TrikkBen]

I currently have a G27 for sale. $400, Comes with a F-1 converter to make it work on xbox. Used once, felt it wasn't for me. Will ship if necessary. PM if keen. Its brand new.. Open to offers guys, need some cash.

Can't wait for the wheel to arrive now.

It is the one on the JB website, but they sell for $270 delivered on eBay; from hong kong and half of that price is the actual delivery…

No room for a cockpit so may have to bite the bullet and fork out the odd $300 for one of these or similar.

[Madaz]

ionrax is not that bad a looking

when i had mine setup i had i mounted to the coffee table and would sit on the lounge not ideal but playable

with my old driving force pro

[EeLeYe]

^^^ nice setup. The ol' coffee table; those were unbreakable and fairly sturdy.

I don't have one, or any room for a cockpit so ended up having to buy one of these from pagnian,

G27 Stand

Not much about them on the net but the little info I can find is all positive. It costs a little bit more than the ionrax, so took a punt. I also needed something that would fold away easy. This thing seems to do it fine. The position of the gear control is also optimal.

Will post up whether it's a win or a total waste of money. Stay tuned…

yeah all very make shift the folks though i was mad an old man (me) with 10 yr old daughter and turning their living room into my sim center
