Looking good.... I take it your not from North America, having the shifter on the left side.

Is it me or is your wheel too high or maybe your tv is too low.

Nice!!! I noticed your location after I posted. I don't know if I could use my left hand for shifting but you never know cause I've never tried it before. Once I get my G25 I might set it up on the left one day to see how it feels.

I know all about the line of sight I used to play GT4 on a 47inch flat screen it was like your setup (I had a DFGT) a little lower than my seated position, but I moved back from the screen to get a better view.

Just curious, why would you want reverse mounted pedals?

Just curious, why would you want reverse mounted pedals?

because when you push the pedals in a car , it's nearly the exact opposite of the way the pedals of the g25/27 are pushed so mounting them upside down improves that, but is not perfect either but closer to reality
