Search the bay for mod springs for G27 pedals. They are supposed to work well. £17 I believe. Type in "G27 brake" into the bay search and you should find them. Been looking at them myself and might order a set.

£209 for G27 wheel, pedals and stand is a cracking price on the bay. Have seen these go without the stand for £190 and more.

Got my G25 set for £75 with a cheeky ask to a seller :)
 
Sold my G25 to fund my G27 purchase 3 years ago and got £150 cash for it. The fact that I would have bought GT5 anyway, meant I upgraded to a G27 for a tenner basically. Didn't do so well on the T500, paid £430 for mine and within a few months Overclockers were selling them for £80 less.

At the end of the day, if your happy with what you've bought and the price you've paid then that's all that matters.

Got both from the rainforest. The Stand is brand new aswell.

Just watched a review of this http://www.apelectrix.com/ Works out at £57 and a video review form an iracing bloke said its brilliant no cons at all.

Ill obviously see how I get on first but that looks like a great addition, along with a bodnar cable do many of you use these cables?

Thanks for that, I shall certainly be comparing against it! I already knew Laguna Seca very well from other games etc but iracing is by far the most difficult, I've pretty much got the whole track nailed apart from the breaking zone up to the cork screw. If there's no one behind I can take it steady and get the perfect line but in races I seem to **** it up a lot.... or someone dives up the inside and takes me out.

It's the same for me, still trying to get more speed through the corners I either go too slow or too fast atm but I can run a consistent lap by myself, as soon as there is someone else near me I end up focusing on them, losing concentration and running off the track - or with them next to me I have to run a different line im not used too and end up losing control.

Was quite good in practice last night ended up doing a few laps with someone else where we were quicker in different sections so end up over taking each other a few times, he even slowed when I went off once to catch back up for the close racing practice. Was quite funny at another point when I over steered then flicked back round and off the track, only to collide with him in the gravel because he had under steered, good aiming i think!
 
A good thing to do when practicing is run tight and wide lines at every corner so if you do go side by side into it with someone in the race you know what to expect.
 
oh yes, my active Mini DP to VGA adapter arrived and after much cussing and swearing, now have my triple screen setup all done with SoftTH via the AMD 7990 GPU :)

Sweet, sweet sweet :D. Running 5120x1080 mode with the 2 side screens :) Prefered this over 2540x1440 centre with SoftTH

My system now is

3930k OC to 4.8
7990 AMD OC
32 GB RAM
G27 + pedals
1920 centre, 1600 sides :)

Everything maxed out, frame rates for all 3 screens are 90 - 95 fps :)

Good grief, my T500 arrived along with the shifter, my god what a step up in quality from the g25, everything feels so different im like learning all over again, belt driven vs the cogs im used to way too strange feeling at the moment, wheel feels heavy and sluggish to respond v6 wheel, v1 shifter and v5 pedals.
 
Wheel has came about an hour ago! about 19hours from ordering to delivery not bad for free postage lol.
All the gear is as new boxed as described.
Just set it up all works well. I need the stand to hurry up now as its impossible having wheel on lap lol.

Race07 and Game Stock Car both worked great with FFB iracing had no FFB, ive not bothered messing to much yet as its not playable with wheel on lap.

I currently have game/sim wise..

rFactor (although another copy also came with the wheel)
race 07
Richard burns rally
netKar Pro
Assessto corsa test
game stockcar
iracing
Dirt 3

Any other good ones im missing? Or essential mods? Most are cheap as chips race 07 was £2.50 on steam
 
Can't wait to get out of these bloody mazdas now, everything from first corner pile ups, people staying still on the greenlight, spin offs on the straights, people not understanding blue flags and actively defending against me passing, one guy even span off coming out of pit exit and went straight into my door - really have seen it all tonight. My Irating has gone from 3.99 (0.01 a different series) down to 3.3 in the space of 1 evening.
 
Been trawling the forums and have a list of downloads to give me additional screen info such as iSpeed and others. Also ordered the Bodnar pedal cable for my G25 so hopefully that will make some differences too.

Going to cut out my desk too to bring my seating position closer to my triple head.

Agghhh, contracting away from home gives me a list of things to do when I get home and the wifey is going to be none too happy :)
 
Ok calling all T500 users, any idea on baseline settings to use for this? Im so used to how the G25 feels compared to this i have no idea if my wheel is set right or something is a miss...Its so damn heavy and slow to respond compared to the g25 which is pretty darn quick to turn, also Iracing specific settings as a baseline aswell as my G25 settings are way off the mark. (that clamp on the t500 is a bit pants, wheel wobbles when on desk)
