There's a new budget PlaySeat I was thinking of getting. This one actually folds into something small:

I want something that's not so GT style more Like F1 
Plus that looks way too reclined to be comfortable.
Plus I'd like to use the chair for gaming as well...

I think I'd break that wheelstand thing and that other chair thing within 10 minutes of use

They sell an extra bar to mount the shifter.
Yeah the F1 seats cost like 7 times more. And you'll need to rearrange your whole room, the cheap one is a stow away solution. F1 cockpit is way out of my price range but if you buy it... send us some pics.

I saw pics of the shifte, seems ok, but id prefer if I sat lower Down to my right side, much like in an actual car.

For racing it's nice to have it next to the wheel so you can quickly switch between the two.

Some of my latest GT6 shots. The new 2-car feature in Photo Travel is pretty awesome.

For those of you that do not roam the GTPlanet forums, do not put custom wheels on staggered fitment cars, especially MR cars. There is a glitch that basically duplicates the front tire width to the rear. Doing this on something like a later model NSX for example, will basically put a 215mm tire on the rear of a mid-engine RWD sports car. Many users have found their times to drop 3 seconds per lap with aftermarket wheels on an MR car.

Dropped my time around the ring to a 6:45 in the HSV. There is still room for improvement.
Also got around the hooking up my Logitech surround sound and damn does it sound pretty awesome.

It's hard to tell which is real and which is in the game. You should do a sound comparison between the cars and a vacuum cleaner.

The sound is just ok IMO,
Definitely could be better but IMO the tones between cars is distinguishable.

A lot of the cars sound decent when they're not at full throttle. I tend to listen to the engine at lower rpms when I'm just messing around on the track.

I'm at 30% or so. I'm in no rush since it's the only video game I play these days. Just been having fun modding cars and screwing around with photo mode. Spent a few days doing the 20m credit glitch too.

Nice.
I skipped a lot of the events and will go back to them if I feel like it.
Just purchased the white Honda HSV.
