    did you guys get the adapter to use a larger wheel? i have a g25 too and lost the power adapter. after getting a universal one to work im pretty sure i broke the port so i said screw it, and ordered the t500rs. im expecting good things. next on the list is this bad boy.
    his mounting setup allows way too much play but im in love with the frex shifter.

    I had a Logitech Driving Force Pro (PS2 wheel, so it's an oldie) sadly it broke a few weeks ago. At first you just had to push really hard on the square button, the right paddle shifter would occasionally doubleclick (really annoying when you're racing), then the left directional button would only work when the steering wheel was being turned left. But I could live with those flaws, but now it doesn't work at all anymore and I'm sad :(

    T500RS with TH8RS on a custom made stand. Far from perfect but does its job decently.

    I had a thrustmaster red edition but I did not know how to install the controls, I found out to invert them but by then I had already sold it.

    The fact that there's nothing much under €250 is terrifying me.

    You can always buy an incredibly cheap motorcycle for 250 euros and ride it instead of playing with a wheel in front of a screen.

    You can always go second hand, I'm not sure about the prices there but I guess it would be cheaper than €250

    I sold my G27 a while back for 200 Euros. I bought it for 229 Euros -/+ four years ago. These things are stable in value!

    Not really what I wanted to hear, since I need a new one. But yeah, I should first try and see if I can maybe fix mine first.

    Yeah, I can imagine that. No chance of getting new parts? Warranty/compensation from Logitech?

    Well I got it in 2005 right after I got my PS2, I don't know how long the warranty lasts but I doubt it's longer than 10 years. As for parts, I don't know, the Driving Force Pro for the PS2 is a pretty rare wheel nowadays.

    Ah. I see. I guess Logitech doesn't have a LogitechCare 10 year warranty plan :p
    I still have an old Logitech Driving Force wheel in my closet. Will check which one. I see you live in NL as well.
