Hey Ed,
I could not find this g30 or str wheel can you post a link?

Thanks!

No deals, however if you find a good deal anywhere thats below bestbuys/futureshops, like canadacomputers etc, make them price match it, you will save extra 5-10$ on top of the competitors.

Pedals and wheel are awesome and hella fun to drive, i think i tolled you i was getting the g25 & seat at the last meet, decided to go with my own option of crating the cockpit from scratch, so far for all the things needed.

The seat i got is from g25 sedan, will be hooking up the controls so everything moves and seat warmers work (for those cold days)

I dont really recommend getting the g26, i had a debate weather to go for that or not, decided not to. Main problem is the shifter, g25 can be switched fro h pattern to auto (up and down), the g26 cannot. (Useful for rally games)

Any further questions post or pm me, will gladly answer them. take care

Putting the snows on the front might give you a false sense of grip and allow you to get up to speeds that your rear tires would not be able to handle. If you tried to avoid something it would induce oversteer.

ok i see. cause they were saying statistics show that most accidents happen cause they spin out while the snows are on the front. so now canadian tire policy is they are not allowed to.
well then i guess i'll leave them on the back the all season on the front have about 75% tread

Yah, just imagine driving around everywhere with cafeteria trays under your back wheels. Might work until you actually tried to do some maneuvering

Well I never actually did this.
Since you did that automatically means you are a huge ricer at heart.
