Well, I can confirm that I have it setup and working! Here are my observations/ comments:-
I contacted Reno from Rinoseats via email to enquire about the seat intially. He repsonded promptly and I then decided to order. Reno sent me a proforma invoice with bank details etc on it. I made the transfer via my bank to him. Shortly afterwards, I received confirmation that the package had been paid for and posted (with tracking number). I also received a pdf file containing assembly instructions. The parcel arrived the following week, excactly when Reno said it would. I have to admit, I was impressed!
The box was compact but well packaged. Upon opening it, I was immediately impressed by how well everything had been packaged and checked all of the parts for damage. Everything was spot on. I then laid out all of the parts to identify them and started to build the seat. The instructions were fairly self explanitory and I had it put together within 1.5 hours, even the spanners and allen keys are included! I could have assembled it faster, however, I wanted to make sure everything was right.
Once assembled, I positioned it infront of the plasma, attached the G25 complete with shifter etc. Adjusted for comfort and then loaded up GT5 Prologue.
All that I can say is wow! What struck me instantly was how the whole setup felt. I was comfortable, in fact so comfortable that it was six hours later when I took a proper break! I admit, I had reservations about the steering coloumn strength, this has not been an issue. The great thing is that you can feel every bump and vibration thorught the chair. If you go over a rumble strip, you hear it and feel it, in the wheel and you body. You feel totally immersed in the driving experience.
To conclude, I had a gameracer before with DFP wheel. I now have Rinoseat with G25, no comparison. This thing is amazing. My advice is get one! It will change your driving sim experience for good! If you have any questions, let me know, I am more than happy to answer them.
Cheers, h18ant
