Get bent over its just a matter of time. Well tongiht was my big race to win a $300 TSW. I had the fastest car. I waited a whole season. I was in the semi finals. Oh Ya, did I forget to mention that I had a brand new Broken Thrustmaster Pro Wheel on the Shelf, Ya I broke almost 12 springs in 6 months. So I was using my T2 and I had 5 minutues before the race. All I have to do is make 2 6 sec passes and I walk with $300 TSW. Well I pulled to the line and no wheel. Looks like the Steering pots failed!! Thats why I deserve for trying to race with this PLASTIC FANTASTIC POS CHINEESE CRAPOLA!!! Don Wilshe

Wilshe, I think you should take this as a sign that you should stop playing all sim games and stop posting to this news group and take up Space Invaders or something

Sorry to Don. I've heard a lot about broken pedal springs. I've got one of the first T-2's (Dec 95) and I havent broke one yet. I've had to replace the bungee several times and I replaced the steering pot 1 time. I've only had to pay for the bungees that I buy at the store and thats it. Mines been pretty reliable. Pepp You might just shell out the bucks for the TSW instead of winning one! My T-2 was the best $99 bucks I ever spent until I get my hands on a TSW.

I really thought, you're about 14 years old. Then I saw your picture on your website... l8er ronny -- Toys'R'Us '99: "So, would you like a hand gun with that action figure, kiddo?" |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

The fact of the matter is: Things wear out. That's the conclusion I finally had to come to after 3 years of hard use on my old T2. The bungees were shot, the pots were shot (after having been cleaned upm*** times), I even broke the snap-tite holder for the steering pot (had the pot held on with duct tape)... hey... things don't last forever. Just bought a TM Nascar Pro and love it. Too bad about your experience with the T2. Onward to the next subject... Andre

try treating your toys with respect and not thrashing them and maybe you can survive without breaking springs (as many others have) -- Nathan Wong http://www.nectar.com.au/~alfacors - Super Touring - Alfa Romeo - - V8Supercars - CART -

Don I still had a lot of respect for you until I read this post. How did you think you were the fastest? I qualified first. You qualified last. Two 6 second passes and you win the wheel? A 6 second pass and you would've been at half track when the win light shines. I won the event and the wheel with a 5.748. Everyone can see the results at http://members.ultracom.net/aplanet/ along with the winning setup. Oh by the way, it's doubtful you would've posted your setup had you been lucky enough to win if everyone else fouled :) Bob Mitchell BigDawgInVa
