From my experience, attaching everything (wheel, pedal, chair etc) rigidly
to the common frames give the bigger advantage in precision than upgrading
the wheel (unless the wheel is real junk).

Even when I had my Advantage 1 wheel/pedal, I could still turn faster laps
with the j/s.

this is 2 funny. Some people are defending there plastic wheels and others
are claiming
great success by attaching wood to make them faster. hehe

Don, don't see your response to the post a couple days ago asking about the
precision of high end wheels. Thought you'd be the first one to jump in to show
how great you gear really is.

First off Don...
I don't see anyone "defending" anything.
Secondly, I have both a Momo Racing and a TSW so I am not even talking about
comparisons other than the TSW worked fine in my racing rig with a __FLAT__
mount and that I added a wooden wedge to change the angle (and comfort) of
the Momo. That was it.
I said nothing about either one being faster. Or especially that adding a
wooden wedge to adjust the angle made anything "faster" - just more
comfortable.
F.Y.I.
Cheers

Im not selling any gear. I would say the same about any high end product.
ECCI, TSW, ETC. all
make ELITE driving systems. I have owned over 20 wheels and its all great.
Joysticks work fine
for the obvious reasons. Brad Davies or CanesFan has always used a
Joystick and drives by the
seat of his pants.. He sits on the joystick.. hehe

Yes, and I was one of those he smoked. But in my defence, I did drive
inside the***pit whereas he drove from F10. Someone he didn't smoke and
was often smoked by, Ian Lake, had a home made contraption that was akin to
a ships wheel. Ian was highly motivated and greatly skilled from GP2. It's
all about motivation and time put in. A head start from any previous
experience is always nice too. :)
Whatever the controller, it simply needs to be functioning correctly.
The standard driving practice of using power under braking has pretty much
killed off joystick use though as was the case with Wolfgang.
A lot of this may be due to the ECCI simply being new. I have used a
$400 (purchased in 1998) wheel up until recently. Now I use a black MOMO
($165). The accuracy thru the pedals of the MOMO was immediately obvious
compared to the old A1 pedals. The A1 (local aussie product) is extremely
sturdy in construction. However, it used 1 MegaOhm pots moving thru just 10%
of their arc and with the pedals being heavily sprung and thus notchy in
their operation, the precision of these pedals is comparitively pathetic.
