Racing seat for best sim experience?

Budget racing seats and cockpits for US sim racers

A poster asked about Racebase cockpits and US alternatives; Diamond Star Racing's DC3 and ProSeat were suggested, with some confusion over whether the original post was spam. Steve Smith said a ProSeat order two years earlier had never shipped, and ProSeat's owner replied publicly and took the matter to email. Another poster described building his own rig from Racebase plans.

With Allen Austin (ProSeat)

hardware: wheels/pedals

He asked about simular units in the US. I answered his question. The statement that I posted this message in "tons" of gaming newsgroups is false. "Cliff Roman" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I thought the ProSeat looked hot, so I ordered one. Six weeks later, they still couldn't say when it'd ship. They may not be crooks, but their logistics are shtupped. "A_Austin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3be4cd9c$[email hidden]...

I ordered plans from the Racebase folks and it was mostly an enjoyable experience. In fact, my completed sim is on their site as is a link to my construction page: http://www.ofoto.com/BrowsePhotos.jsp?UV=661751931254_38254270203&US=0&colli d=50954270203 Dennis "Cliff Roman" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Stephen, Did you order it through SimAddiction or direct from ProSeat? What style did you order? I am the owner of ProSeat and do not recall any order cancellations. We did experienced problems getting the ButlerBuilt seats back in the spring, these fill are used on our Outlaw chair. This was due to both WC and WoO seasons starting and they still take about 4-5 weeks to get. Other than that things have been on a 1-2 week shipping date. We are certainly not crooks and have been in business now for 2 years with over 150 satisfied customers :-) -- Sincerely, Allen Austin http://www.pso1.com "We Put You in the Driver's Seat" http://www.thomas-superwheel.com "Maker's of the TSW and TSW2" http://www.precision-racing.com Proud Member of Precision Racing Professional Internet Race Team "Stephen Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1_aF7.73600$[email hidden]... > I thought the ProSeat looked hot, so I ordered one.

Allen, It was almost 2 years ago. I saw your company on the Net (then proseat.net) and called the number listed, in good faith. I heard nothing for several weeks so I called again to inquire abt. the status of my order and got the runaround. I called several more times and had my chain jerked. After abt. 6 weeks, I called and cancelled the order. No apologies or credible explanations were offered. Shortly thereafter, the Web site went dead, so I assumed it was just another fly-by-night outfit that had collected orders and fled with the proceeds. Not so. I called my credit card company and they confirmed that my card had not been charged. I still like the product. If you can guarantee a delivery date, I'd order it again. --Steve Smith "A_Austin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3be5c1a5$[email hidden]...
