RACE FRAME

Postby KWAK » Fri Jun 06, 2008 4:13 pm

Well... as I said the other night, I want to buy or build a race frame.(partly because my computer disk is falling apart from the force feedback!) Theres "PRO'S" and "CONS" with both buying and building one. So I spend about 3hours yesterday doing the "Google" thing. Results:

1. http://www.interactiveracing.com/Chassi ... Frame_Pro/
Good alround setup, compact, light, but.... expensive! and havent got a reply back yet regarding shipping to NZ

2. http://gtrevolution.com/
Very similar to previous, but more simpler. Email them, reply:
Hello Kris,

We do ship worldwide from our office in China. We do not sell the Gtrx-01
without the seat! If you are interested to purchase a complete unit,
please let me know.

Regards,

Johnny

I asked if it would be easier to ship without a seat, as I can pick one up here. I emailed back regarding price, waiting to hear back.

Awesome little setup, I really like this one, and good for price, shipping? Waiting on reply.

4. http://www.hyperstimulator.com/personal/personal.html

Wow! very big setup! and very big price! there is local dealers in NZ too. But to pricey!

5. http://www.vrconcepts.co.nz/index.php?i ... ncrement=8

I like these setups too. VR Racing Cockpit - Black , they also have a g25 adapter to attach the gearshift to. Not bad on price either.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT....... 8-)

if your mate is a welder, he will hate that product unless he has used it :) after spending years to learn welding, wouldnt you hate it too? i have only known one person to use it and he says ts as easy as it looks on the demo vids.
