not recommended at all. its ok, but not good enough for the money I paid for. It start breaking apart from the welded joints, buy this one of they giving a welding machine free with this. unless you ready to lose your money within couple of months. get something reliable.
Great seat for my Driving Force GT to play GT Prologue. and also a nice seat for my kid while watching TV. The set up gives a good adjustment for length and height. The only star left for a perfect 5 is if an improvement can be devised to keep the swinging steering frame stable.
Over all it works and I'm happy with it. This seat was made to fit the Logitech Driving Force GT perfectly. It was worth the money I spent on it. Also the part where the metal rod attaches to the seat is also flimsy.
I also bought the G25 racing wheel to go with it. I was really excited when the price came down because I've been eyeing one and didn't want to spend $250 on it. I wanted to keep the G25 so after googling I found several people that made it work so I was excited to try out some modifications. The one thing that I was excited about was the gearshift assembly mount, because that cost $50 if you were to order one.
The frame is flimsy but it's not overly flimsy that it's unusable. So if you have a PS3 and don't want to spend a lot of money on the G2, I would recommend the Driving Force GT. From the other reviewer on here they had said they used a 1x12 board so that's where I started. Using the provided velcro and some handy work I was able to mount the G25 pedal assembly. I got this playseat classic in blue on sale last week for about $140.
I made that from some shelving bracket and left over wood for about $2.The review of the playseat over all is average. The seat itself is of good quality, but the frame is a little weak as many of the other reviewers had already said. I think it's passable for the price you pay. The only really flimsy part is the single steering collumn where the body is attached to the steering wheel. I then attached the whole thing to the metal plate of the playseat using 4 strips of velcro. It was after ordering it that I found out that the G25 wheel doesn't fit the playseat classic. If you want a more stable gaming seat I would consider getting the Playseat Evolution.
I connected the wood to the pedals using 5/16 x 1 1/2 inch screws. I have added some pics of my handy work to the gallery (please enjoy). The price is about $300 so you have to consider if you are willing to spend that much or not. My son and I are having a blast playing Dirt, Ridge Racer, Nascar 09 and Burnout Paradise on my PS3.
This seat Deffinitly gave me a boost on my racing performance, would of gave it a 5 but it wobles a bit, the center of it should have a support bar for stability even if they sold an after market support beam for it, be nice, be nice to it and it wont fail
I own a PS3 and the new Logitech GT wheel and the classic does a fine job. If you're hard-core and use the Logitech G25, you may want to spend extra for the Evolution but for console gamers, this should work just fine. It's not rock steady but that has not impacted my driving enjoyment.
