Hi I was just woundering something. I bought Nascar 2 and right after that I finally bought the Thrustmaster T2. It make the game MUCH easier to drive than with a joystick:) But One question...HOW the hell do you keep the pedals from sliding on the floor?!?! Every time I push down on them, the whole unit slides on the rug. It would be much easier to drive if they didn't always move:) Also my desk top is to thick to for the clamps. So is their anyway to keep the Steering wheel from sliding also? Oh one more thing, I can't get the whole steering wheel to fit. I can't get the***hole lined up. It doesn't go all the way down. Any suggestions? Plus I also just ordered the Screamming 3D Video card. Should I have waited or was it a good move. Anything that what I have would be bettter. I'd really like to see all the graphics on sometime. Well, I guess that's it. Tell me what you think:) MATT

Your T2 should have come with four square *** stickons for your pedals; one for each corner. This helps prevent the sliding on the floor. If they were not included you should call thrustmaster and I'm sure they will send them to you. They are well respected by many including myself for their great customer service. Hope this helps.

Hi there, I solve the problem by puting velcro on the floor and the pedals units, and everything, is all right like that. Bye Baz

It would be much easier to drive >if they didn't always move:) Yes, it is much easier...being that you have a rug, I'm assuming you mean carpet, and not an area rug that itself will slide around...if possible, try putting something behind the pedal unit that can ***up against the wall. I used a book lying flat, but I was close enough to the wall to be able to do that. Maybe a board or a plank? Something that will make contact with the pedal unit and wall if possible. If not, I have heard of people literally drilling concrete bolts through the carpet...but that's a little drastic :-) John Wehman

I don't feel drastic! (g) To keep my pedals from sliding I simply removed the rear floor mat from my work van and drilled two holes to mount the assembly to the mat. The mat is the type with the 100's of nubs and I cant move it without lifting it from the carpet. Terry
>> pedal unit and wall if possible. If not, I have heard of people >literally >> drilling concrete bolts through the carpet...but that's a little drastic >:-) Hey! My dad would probably do that! He dug up the whole front yard just to put in a flower garden! (Sort of like home improvement with out as many accidents). John -- Winners never quit, quiters never win
