[MuchoJimbo]

That is bananas. I wish I had the knowledge to pull something like that off, nice job man.

 

[Jdmyo93]

...a masterpiece.

 

[Raymond_Tengen]

When insanity is taken too far, it's called art and perfection. This is what it is. Fantastic job, my friend~

 

[rankings18]

[Coxis]

Dude. Wow, that is sick. Congratulations.

 

[AGP5000]

Damn, this is amazing. Well, I will wait to build this after I get married so the woman does not freak out AS much lol. Kudos though man, that's a man cave cockpit! Something I think most, if not all crave to have......

 

[Crazed_Coupe]

Can anyone say fanatic?

That's an awesome looking setup though!

Wow!

 

[Tom]

That is the best mod i've ever seen, are you any good with a DFGT?

 

[MARC BOLAN]

Actually ,the dashboard & device hubs is USB universal(except XBOX), can use on PS3 or any windows pc , it can use with any steering wheel, all the logitech ,FANATEC even T500RS also can use with it. The dashboard provide RA quick tune function in GT5, other buttons are optional for mapping, the 5pin din device plugs can plug in any kind of peripherals(now with 4, maximun can be 5 on the box) , such as handbrake(non linear), sequential shifter, wiper and light control and horn button. Can through button remap to change the button function.

Hi Marc
what a creation. Can share how much each item cost.. Must be a huge huge price tags.

You mention about the frex shifter. I don't quite get you on your video. So is there a lag or no lag when u use frex shifter. How you manage do the wiring? Thanks.

Awsome job and you are a true GT and G27 Fanatics.

The Frex H-shift typeG have lag On the N-POSITION,
that's mean when change from any 1-6 & r position to N, must wait few sec. to take response, if passing through N form 1-6/r position, we can't see the "N" on the shift indicator, is directly form number to number.
Actually ,not causing any problem in GT5.

Frex H-shift TypeG no need to wiring, just unplug the original shifter cable from G27 Keypad pcb ,then plug the Frex cable on it is ok.

Thank you! I satisfy in this set up , but I still hope one day I can have a
wheel like T500RS with a load cell brake~T500RS is the best wheel for now,
Whatever how to mod the G27 , still can't compare with it.
