Am considering getting a new wheel/pedal combo to
replace my old TSW.  Is the complete ACT LABS system
with clutch and shifter an improvement?  Any other suggestions
really appreciated!  Playing mostly Nascar 2002 & GTR2002
these days....

Hank,

      Why would you want to replace a quality lifetime wheel with a mass
produced limited useful life wheel?  Thomas wheels literally last forever.
And whatever replacement parts are needed are just a email or phone call
away.

      My TSW2 has the same exact feel and precision today as it did 3 years
ago.  My old MSFF wheel didn't make 2 years, and before that my Thrustmaster
T2 broke more springs (even the newer ones) then I could keep track of.

      Save your money for a new wheel and put it towards your next computer
upgrade.

      I replaced my TSW2 with a Logitech Wingman Formula Force.  Even
with the slop in the wheel bushing and funny pedals, the force
feedback was well worth it.  I now have an old style (ball bearing)
MOMO.

        The shifters are a personal  decision.  Unless you just run
the road courses you don't shift that much in NASCAR, and paddle
shifters are pretty realistic everywhere else except GPL.

      My ideal system would be a MOMO wheel and TSW pedals.
