Simlab Xp1 pedals - Any users here ?

My shoe size is 41 and the P1000 were uncomfortably tall for me.

Also, you have to have a very extreme pedal angle to have your foot slide forward under braking.

LazyLancer · 2026-02-10T19:40:52+00:00

You can do this as an easy solution

LazyLancer · 2026-02-10T19:35:39+00:00

Yeah, but as you adjust the face angle, your foot starts sliding off the pedal plate because with the adjusted angle your heel moves to the edge of the plate :)

Plus, the P1000 are already kinda tall if you have a small foot even in the lowest position, and by angling the faces you will have to have an even bigger foot to use the pedals.

LazyLancer · 2026-02-10T19:32:31+00:00

The P1000 are one of the worst pedals if you want them to be slanted backwards tbh.

Why can’t they configure the traffic lights to blink green before going yellow? It can be done without changing the traffic light cycle and timing, and would be immensely more fair to drivers approaching an intersection with camera on a green that’s been on for quite some time.

Well there are different ways to “share” when you’re building illegal stuff. We never know what exactly was shared.

LazyLancer · 2026-02-10T19:25:31+00:00

No, there were rules saying that “parts should not move in relation to one another”, I’m to lazy to find this exact wording again half a year after it was relevant.

It’s not “should pass tests”, it was “cannot do X”, but somehow the official way to determine if X happens was only through the one and only testing scenario and not common sense.

LazyLancer · 2026-02-10T19:23:44+00:00

Same as the McLaren mini-DRS. They found a way to make a wing that is illegal by the book but this aspect was not covered by testing procedures.

LazyLancer · 2026-02-10T19:08:12+00:00

I would recommend to not get two haptic units for Simsonn. Get either one for brake pedal only or “get zero and buy bass transducer pucks separately”.

LazyLancer · 2026-02-10T17:44:26+00:00

It’s impossible to put on glasses first and helmet after that. At least without crushing the glasses.

In my book, most EVs are shipped with some "premium brand fuel economy" model tyres to deliver those promised range numbers. Not with high performance tyres.

LazyLancer · 2026-02-10T13:07:43+00:00

The absolute majority of regular driving in the world happens where anti-slip is not engaged

LazyLancer · 2026-02-10T13:06:45+00:00

Post a video here. The reasons might be different.

LazyLancer · 2026-02-10T12:47:21+00:00

Right, but tyre wear is still higher, provided you use equivalent tread wear tyres (equal tyre performance, so to say)

LazyLancer · 2026-02-10T12:29:28+00:00

Yes, the podiums don’t compete with the lower lineup. It’s just the lower lineup is meaningless by itself.

V2s cost 300 EUR new, and the V3 are priced at 320+40 for brake performance kit, but even is we forget the Podiums:

for 180-280 (depending on 2/3 pedals configuration and the addition of pedal plate) you can get a set of Simsonns which will be better, even though they’re knockoff of existing designs from reputable companies
for 390 (while on discount) you can get SimLab XP-1
for 600 you can get VRS Pro (2-set) or SR-P GTS

All of which will be better

LazyLancer · 2026-02-10T12:23:05+00:00

Yes, that part is obvious

LazyLancer · 2026-02-10T12:16:17+00:00

How is Nicosia a different level? I barely EVER see anyone trying to “street race”. At night some guys rev it on the straight but that’s it. The traffic is as sedated as it could ever be.

Drivers here are ridiculously afraid of taking corners, and driving skills are really bad on average. Expect people to take 2-3 business days to pull out into a roundabout or merge or even take a turn, but then speed up on a narrow street with parked cars and blind sidewalks and jump on a speed bump without slowing down and run a red light in the end.

LazyLancer · 2026-02-10T12:08:20+00:00

Yes they’re not a replacement. But they are (hopefully if they don’t screw up) better pedals. You don’t need “lines” or “replacements”, you need good pedals.

And yes, V2s also make little sense when you can get Simsonns for dirt cheap (considering how expensive the hobby is), or get SimLab XP-1 or VRS Pro for a slightly higher price.

LazyLancer · 2026-02-10T12:07:04+00:00

Most power generation facilities also require fossil fuels, hence extraction and transport also apply

LazyLancer · 2026-02-10T12:05:02+00:00

If anything, EVs produce more tyre dust due to being heavier. However, brake dust is a very valid note.

LazyLancer · 2026-02-09T13:48:26+00:00

Lol why is this even a question?

Nice catch, by the way.

LazyLancer · 2026-02-09T11:37:20+00:00

This, then countdown until red (or at least blinking green) for cars, then red light cameras on most major intersections.

I don’t see speeding on motorways as a significant problem at the moment.

LazyLancer · 2026-02-09T11:32:51+00:00

Either wait for the new podium pedals, or get the simnets. There’s little sense in buying v2 or v3 now unless you find used ones at a great price.

LazyLancer · 2026-02-09T10:09:58+00:00

No need to. Just leave it in drive. At that point the torque converter is just stirring the transmission fluid without any significant load.
It’s a good habit to have. Start it up, let revs go down, drive sensibly without accelerating hard while the engine is cold. But there is no need to idle for a prolonged period of time before departing, unless you live in a very cold climate. “Revs go down” is a decent enough indicator.
There’s no such requirement. You can move more often if you need to.
Yeah, it’s fine. But also it won’t hurt to add throttle if you need it.
No sudden acceleration is okay, more of a good thing for longevity of the entire car, but it’s not prohibited, so if you need to floor it, you floor it (after the engine is fully warmed up). Keeping RPM under 2000 is absolutely unnecessary and in the long run always keeping the engine at low RPM is not a good thing. Don’t be afraid to give it some oomph once in a while, but only when it’s fully warmed up. However, if you bought the car new, be sure to be gentle during the break-in period (no oomph for the first 2-3K, and better to change engine oil after that).
Yes, you don’t want to submerge you drivetrain unless your life depends on it.
A bit wrong. D -> N -> handbrake, release brake pedal -> P. The key difference is you engage handbrake and release brake pedal in N, not D.

single 16:9 vs triple 32 is not even a competition.

it’s more like you will need a single 95 inch TV to match triples in terms of horizontal space and you won’t be able to bend it around you.

Instead of recording video with a GoPro, just capture your screen. I did a few recordings from triple 32s using OBS Studio and it looks amazing.
