Well my cockpit arrived on time for holidays, thursday night a 60kg box was waiting on my doorstep.

Its taken me a few days to get everything bolted on and I have to say I am very pleased with the results.

It's the first time I can brake without having to worry about moving the chair back or something else, first time I can man handle the steering wheel without it ripping off the desk. Because the pedals are now bolted down with 4 large bolts to the rig the brake actually feels better, I don't know if its the angle I am now sitting but either way the biggest thing is braking.

I don't know if anyone's ever sat behind me on a race but I've had to brake pretty early because of the chair moving back and now I swear I can wait about 100m longer and still pull up the car.

Now it's time to save up for maybe one of these for next year. http://www.pagnianimports.com.au/racing-simulator-cockpit/next-level-racing-motion-platform.html

I recently went through the same research for a new desk... It's multipurpose... I spend a bit of time on it for work too so it had to cover all bases.

So I got myself the obutto r3volution for Xmas (a little early I know), but it's also been awesome... hence now the need for me wanting to get back into racing with you guys...
