Well, it's been two weeks since I ordered a TSW2. I was given an ETA of around mid-June. I'll probably continue to get by with my Nascar Pro but this wait is gonna be difficult. I've got 6 spare pedal springs from Thrustmaster that I hope will last me till June. What are the other TSW ETA dates that people are waiting for? Just curious. <Dan>
No way! Three months wait for a TSW... ouch. You could have had a ECCI in like 2 weeks(or maybe less). Scottie

I ordered mine late December and received my TSW2 early February. Trust me, its worth the wait for the cost. I think the NROS has swamped them. Hang in there with your Nascar Pro. Michael Day

I spoke with Trevor Thomas of Thomas Enterprises recently, and he says that they ARE really swamped -- the wait isn't B.S., trust me. Also, the wait will DEFINITELY be worth your while. I have had my TSW2 for over a year now (after waiting about 4 months to get it), and I absolutely LOVE it -- I've been having fun with Force Feedback wheels from time to time, but they just can't measure up to the TSW2. FWIW, I recently upgraded my stock TSW2 wheel to a VERY nice Caliba Kadet kart wheel -- I tipped Trev off on this wheel, and they're now offering it as an alternative to the upgrade "D-shaped" wheel. Mine's got a red anodized aluminum center with a black suede grip and gray leather inserts at the 12:00 and 6:00 positions. It's got nice thumb indents, and it feels WONDERFUL. Check out the picture on the TSW Web site -- if you have a TSW2 and would like details on how to upgrade your own, LMK and I'll fill you in on how I did my upgrade. -- John Bodin Publisher, The IRL Insider Magazine http://irlinsider.adnetweb.com/

>Thanks for letting us know that it is a good wheel !! (I posted this as a separate message when I meant to post it here -- sorry for the double-post.) This should be of interest to all you TSW owners out there -- I've upgraded my basic TSW2 to include a VERY nice wheel for about $75. That's a bit pricey, I know, but it's a nice suede-and-leather wrapped IRL, CART, or F1 type wheel that's MUCH nicer than the basic wheel that came with my TSW2.
