I'm Just a ECCI/TSW Wantabe - Don Wilshe

First off let me state that the TSW wheel is excellent and the best available steering wheel I have ever used. I have used the ProWheel, Thrustmaster, Logitech MOMO, TSW 2, Microsoft FF and Precision Wheel and ProWheel from the San Diego company. As you all no I was off for 4 years after my first 4 years in sim racing with the ivga.com.. so I came back and bought a MS Precision wheel and i have no complaints about it. I have done just fine.. But while surfuring around here I found that ECCI has started building CONSUMER pedals for MS and other wheels. So I bought a set of ECCI consumer Pedals.. Just 22 lbs, he he... WOW am I impressed with these pedals. Its the the people like me that want to be a TSW Wantabe or ECCI. Well its about as close as I can get to having the real thing. Just wanted to let you know about the new products from ECCI www.ecci.net -- Donald Wilshe 888 588-9207 Martel Brothers Performance, Worlds Largest On-Line Auto Parts Mfg Catalog Library www.martelbros.com Other Interest: www.ivga.com www.games-advertising.com www.whra.com

Hehe, they look over engineered to me! Plus there is no option to add a clutch, and obviously with that configuration heel & toe is out of the question! Cheers Gerry

My John Deere tractor has similar pedals ;) I've driven those ECCI pedals, not comfortable at all . TK "Gerry Aitken" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Don, out of interest, what kind of vehicle has pedals like those made by > ECCi? > > Gerry

I've never tried them either and I am sure the build quality is excellent but there is nothing about them that either implies comfort or nice race feel not to mention the visual impact. Don't see them adding to the element of believing were in a rear car. "Tony Kelley" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:L0oY9.1555$[email hidden]...

Hmmm..........odd, mine are about as comfortable as any I have found and I have owned just about all racing systems available at one time or another except the Redline setup.

1949 FORD TRACTOR!!! =) And as soon as ECCI makes them compatible with the new Logitech MOMO Force.. I'm ordering a set. LOL -- Scott B.

Ya know what they say. "to each his own" I guess my opinion is about as valid as anyone elses <G>. I've got a set similar to Redline pedals. Actually they started out as SRC's if you remember those. I was among those that got hosed when SRC decided to quit building wheel/pedal setups, all I did manage to get was a pedal frame. I like the overhead pedals. Just feels more natural.

I have the Redlines, their configuration is that of a set of real pedals, you get a clutch too, which makes them fully immerse. I've tried the old commercial ECCI one and found them to be a totally bizarre way of controlling a car. Gerry

I agree about the SRC pedals. I had decided to get a set about the time they decided to cease production. As far as the ECCI pedals go I think as you said as well. They do take a bit getting used to and I modified mine slightly for a more comfortable feel. "Tony Kelley" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ZLpY9.1970$[email hidden]... > Ya know what they say.

Unfortunately there will be no more Redlines until Late 2003 (According to the website) =( -- Scott B.

If someone wanted to see my sim setup using the ECCI pedals, I will be happy to send them. I found that getting them off the ground and using a Bodybuilt chair makes all the difference. Still, I wish I had my original ECCI pedals back. Like good shoes, the comfort level takes time. First thing I did with the current model is raise the spring rate for the throttle. For me, its ECCI equipment or I quit sim racing! as for the picture, if interested, drop me a note at [email hidden] "Don Wilshe" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:JCgY9.124428$[email hidden]...

Don But you say you had to get used to them! The redlines are just like a real set of pedals, nothing to get used to, it's natural from the off. I'm forked if I'd pay all that dosh for a pair of (real race cars have three, btw) pedals that I have to get used to! Gerry

Nah... it said something about him moving IIRC. =) -- Scott B. Husted "PA-Scott" ICQ# 4395450 http://www.Husted.cc "Gerry Aitken" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > "Scott B.

I've tried the Tractor Pedal setup and didn't like them nearly a well a my CDS5000 roller pedals. No heel and toe like you stated and no place to rest you brake foot off of the pedal when not using the brake. They bothered my calf muscles too. But everyone is different :-) Gerry Aitken wrote:
