Always felt wrong playing GT5 with the small go-kart wheel of the G25 - took a bit of the realism out of it, so I got a few mods for it.

- Custom steering wheel mount
- Extended paddles
- Knockoff Momo "alacantra" steering wheel.

Nah no Pedal mods. I am really quite happy with the rest of the setup.

One negative with my new setup is now I don't have any steering wheel buttons.

awww, that would sorta suck a bit...
you cant route em on the back like they did on the original wheel?

Merudo · 15th May 2012, 12:38 PM

Could you link to the custom mount you got for the G25 base, to fit the momo copy wheel to?

Unfortunately no because the custom mount I used does not have a hole in the middle where you can thread the wires through, if not I would've hooked up at least one button to the steering wheel's horn button.

I bought the paddles and custom mount from this guy:

I actually wanted to buy off this Chilicoke guy originally.

For the paddles, it says on his website: Both sizes will be back in stock shortly. Please email for estimate on availability

So I emailed, but got no reply. No reply, no sale.

do you feel the extra distance affect the steering effort (I guess it would be easier to turn since you have more torque on the wheel)

Yes, but I appreciate the change in effort because it's now more like a real car.

The other thing that has to be done after fitting a larger wheel is you need to up the force feedback settings - they are understandably less strong now that the FF motors have to deal with a bigger/heavier steering wheel.

Just got a new PS3 and a G27 yesterday to get back into this game.

So shattered to find I have lost my backed up game save.

Now I have to start again............:RAGE:

That's why I'm glad my GT5 saves are backed up onto the cloud (Playstation Plus).

Would kill myself if I lost my GT5 progress.
