Not trolling GT5 and or PS3. This is totally router dependant. You might need to exclude the PS3 IP and or MAC address. You might need to put the PS3 in the routers DMZ. There are a number of options

How are people going with the drift events? I find it pretty damn hard! Anything with a decent amount of power in it I keep spinning out or coming off the track. I try to power oversteer to gain contr

Is the G25 no longer made? I picked one of these up for $250 from Hardly Normal 3 years ago. It's connected to my Microsim Race Base (showing my age here).

The shifter quality is still pretty plastic, but better than playing on a keyboard.

G25 isnt sold anymore, the second hand ones ive seen on Ebay have ended up sellin g for the same money as a G27....

380 on ebay seems the cheapest, but also has the biggest postage $80 from what i recall. it seem the cheaper the product. the more the postage is.

i bought my G27 from Umart in brissy. cost me $405. picked it up the next day. no waiting, and no overpriced postage.

some of those driving rigs are pretty nice. but far too expensive for a few bits of thin metal tubing. and a friend has the VR one......very flimsey, not good for 650 bucks. and 2000 forget about it. mine cost me $250 for the bucket seat about 8 yrs ago ;) all the rest was free!! (except the G27 obviously)

there are other driving games other than GT5 you can use your steering wheel with. no need for it to collect dust :D

The Racebase plans and hardware cost me something like$80 back in 2004, and probably $50 worth of MDF.

I see they're back in business, and you can get the plans for $9, and hardware for $50-ish. If you're handy with woodworking, they are pi$$ easy to make.

too much of a pain to get in and out of though. if i was going to do it i''d leave 1 side off so you can slip into it easier, or make it have a scissor door, lol

What? Seriously?

Are you an arthritic 80 year old or something? Have you actually tried these things?

I can think of plenty of reasons one might not want one of these, but ease of access? Come on - surely you can do better.

Besides, the steering wheel tilts up out of the way if you want it to (although I've never had to do that)

Each to their own though.

you are pretty much sitting on the floor. i'd rather have it at seat height. i don't have the money or space for a sim anyway, so i'll just be sticking with the controller. never bothered me in the past. i might get one eventually (when i'm in a house with more space), but that won't be for a while yet.

i'd really like to get a car and mount one in the car so the steering wheel, etc is all in the exact location it would be in real life.

looks good, and cheap, and real easy to make. would save alot of stuffing around with measurements like i did. ill stick with my alloy one tho. Sure its pretty well on the ground, and doesnt look as artsy. but its sturdy enough to use it to drag yourself out if need be. Easier to get out of than a bean bag :dry:

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
