Hyperdrive Console Cockpit Simulator System. Any good?

[dieselhead]

I'm thinking to buy one of these to use with my XBOX 360 (http://hyperdrive.cart.net.au/store/hyperdrive-bundle-1.html) in front of a big arse LCD to play Forza 3. Worth $260 delivered? Any better options for this kind of money?

$260 sounds pretty expensive, when we had them at work they where under $200 from memory

a little flimsy tbh.

also mounting the wheel can be a pita, since the top is fairly thin.

The barren plastic seat one is $200. I need some padding though for me old bones... How flimsy are they?

I ended up making my own by going to the wrecker - getting a seat from a Commodore including the rails for $50 and making up a frame to suit. Sure it wasnt high class quality but was adjustable

the 'cushion' isnt much at all. you'd be better off getting some phone from Clark Rubber to suit you.

as for flimsy, now i think of it the last one we had got moved around heaps and i think we broke it tbh lol

Is that plate just spot welded on where the wheel mounts?

Man I would break that thing off with one drift lap at the Eiger :)
