Hello to all racing fan,specially F1GP2. I'm looking for what i've seen on the newsgroup, that somewhere on the WEB,there's a kit (or maybe better) way to modify/add on the wheel of a FORMULA T1/T2 a upshift and downshift button (JUST LIKE REAL F1 CAR). I do believe that Thrustmaster came with a new wheel that has this new feature but lacks pedal (which is a must for me). Is there a way just to buy this new wheel and just plug the pedal to get it all ?? My best solution is looking for that WEB site to get the info on the modification, anyone has the URL ? thanks Eric Levite

My suggestion is you get your fat ass in the Fatmobile and drive down to your local RadioShack and buy: 1. part 275-1547c mini momenatry pushbutton switches (4), $1.99. 2. part 270-380a mini alligator clips (12) $1.99 3. part 64-010 tape solder $1.49. Unscrew the t2, attach alligator clips to small metal stubs on b fire buttons, attach wire, you supply, to clips then tie off on big screws that came thru dash, attach to small mini buttons (these fit in wholes in wheel). Underoptions chose to have b fire buttons as shift up/down, be sure to leave enough wire for turning radius of wheel and you have shifters under your index fingers, makes game ALOT easier since you can downshift thru turns and hold onto wheel, all this for under $10.00US.
