Hello guys, I may look new here but I'm not.
I'm roaming 'round this forum for good 6 years or so, reading, admiring, appreciating.


I had a nice simulator rig back home (nothing like from some of the guys here but I was happy with it). Fanatec GT3 RS v2, CSP v1 and PWS on a cockpit I designed and built with my stepfather. That was in 2011.
Now somethings have changed, I am no longer 18 but 22, I married a girl I love, opened a company and we're doing just fine. I bought a car aswell, a 200+ hp rwd car that is (every bit of car control knowledge I owe to my experience gathered on my rig).

But something unpredicted has occured - I got into family problems with my mother. Unfixable problems (without getting into much detail she for some reason didn't respect my decision to live my life) which lead to her not letting me take my simulator with me. I cannot take it without making a mess which may involve the police.
To prevent that I may need a new wheel, pedals and shifer (I say may, since I might take it back somehow).


The problem (and the reason I'm making this thread) is following: Endor AG (Fanatec) doesn't make GT3 RS wheels, CSP v1 and PWSS / anything apart from CSW anymore (as far as I know, if I'm in the wrong please point it out to me).
T500RS hasn't got a load cell (if it has a mod for doing so please feel free to point that out aswell) brake, Logitech G25 and G27 feel too toyish (although I've only used them for short stints on two or three occasions).
So with that in mind, I'm asking you this:
if anyone has a spare, working GT3 RS wheel, CSP v1 with PWSS please feel free to inform me, I'll be more than happy to buy it off you.



This isn't a begging thread so mods, please don't delete this thread.

Thank you.
 
Your build was so well done, you seemed to of put a lot of effort into it and with excellent detail.
It is nice to read you have found a women you love, got married, a nice car and seeing success with business.
You state you are 22, yes you have become independent as a man but I think in future if you are blessed with children yourself, possibly already have, but are a good parent nothing will be more valuable to you than a child.

My advice regardless of the issues, we do not know your background or upbringing but your mother will always be your mother, you will always be her child. Objects of interest or value come and go. It takes a greater man to look beyond the issues of recent past, you make the first move to rebuild what is broken and do not let anger, revenge, spite become regret or get in the way of all the past you have together.

You are 22 in 20 years time you might look at life different and understand more too that it is hard to let go of your children when they want to become dependant, leave home and want to live their own lives. It is much better when this can be done and the mother respects the man you are, and the man respects the mother of the child you were.

Shock!! Horror!!.... There are bad mothers in the world.

I can't speak specifically for the OP's here, but the blanket "the most important thing is family" is often applied far too flippantly. I say, if a family member's actions aren't up to that of the expectation of a friend's actions, they aren't worth their salt. Far too many people spend their whole lives being used and abused via the "most important" misnomer.

All the best @Sspeed15.
 
Think you for your support. I'll try and take my rig sometime soon. Need a van first, since I doubt it'll fit in my BMW.
If that doesn't work then I'll have to buy a T500RS (if noone comes up with a GT3 RS here).
 
I can't offer you any help, but I do wish you all the best mate and I hope that everything works out for you. :cheers:
 
Try searching ebay for "Fanatec", as there are sometimes bundles of gear that come up for sale. Top Tip; most people list late on a Sunday evening.

I don't believe in unfixable problems. Some just require more hard work than others.

I'd advice you and your mother to make peace with each other. The best way to do that is usually to sit down and talk about it. If you had a big confrontation about it recently you might want to let it cool down for a little while first though, but then try to talk with her. Maybe your stepfather can mediate if it's needed?

Ask her: How does she feel about the situaiton? What is it about your life choice that she can't accept? Is she afraid of something? What kind of relation does she want with you? Etc. Ask these kind of open questions that allows her to talk and explain from her point of view.

And then you can explain how you feel about it, try to talk about it from a personal point of view: "I feel..." "My dream is to..." "This is important to me..." etc.

If she can understand your point of view and you can understand hers, it's easier to make progress from there. You won't necessarily agree with each other, but you can still have a mutual respect and a working relationship.
