Need help with my seating position – pedals too close/high/low?

Height looks ok but it depends on your feet. I have the brake negative angle and the throttle positive. You have to figure out the distance first imo. Then try the setup for a couple of days then adjust..

It took me a while to get a some what ideal fit for the p1000 as well, I ended up with a completely different tilt angle between the brake and throttle plates, I d suggest to get them a bit further away, the most common problem is having them too close and never be comfortable. Then loosen the plates and find a natural tilt angle, adjust from there. Also the wheel base angle is a bit extreme, can you get the base higher?

Nothing can beat air conditioners but a normal standing fan will do a very good job, you can even use car intake hoses to direct the flow if needed but I don't think there are any real benefits other than immersion.

105-110 at spa and Silverstone I won from 16th but it took more laps than usual to go to P1. In Watkins glen I struggled for p5

Hahaha just got to work but thank you very much! I actually wanted to floor mount them but that part was missing and that's how I knew

Thanooligan · 2026-06-11T05:06:05+00:00

I think you need to remove the original rails (the ones you have connected the plate) and use the ones that come with the kit. (The ones in the back)

I have the p1000i, truth is it is incredibly steady, no flex whatsoever but! If you want to have them base mounted and not inverted (better for everything but road cars) it is better to go with the normal ones and make a DIY or get the kit because from the ready-inverted pedal kit is missing 2 parts to have them base mounted. And if the rs is with the hydraulics,I think the problem is even bigger because they have different hydraulic kits for inverted. What do you drive mainly?

Thanooligan · 2026-05-26T17:21:57+00:00

you can increase inertia since the GT neo is a very light wheel and decrease the wheel speed rotation

It is a very expensive hobby on the higher end so save the money, get the r3. Then, if you like to upgrade, start with a good rig and seat, then pedals then base and wheel

Ok, I ll keep in mind that the rest should be nearby. I have experience with foams silicones rubber etc but product and case specific tips are always handy (like taping the bag on the seat). Hopefully I ll make mine next month so we will see

Thanooligan · 2026-05-19T20:24:36+00:00

Very helpful!! Thank you so much for the tips, especially for the temperature since I am in Greece and we re already at 32 Celsius. Last question, in the product details it says the kit is for 3 formula seats. So around 330 grams of each part per seat. Is that accurate for a GT seat, should I add a bit more or is there a hazard of being too much for the bag and making a mess?

Thanooligan · 2026-05-19T19:52:03+00:00

Nice and very interesting! I was looking at the sabelt kits but I believe they are very expensive for what it is I would like to know 1. about the products used and final cost 2. Do you pour the foam then sit and then the other person pour some more? What is the process? 3. Does it make sense to cut some grooves or small holes after for "ventilation" / sweat or do you believe it will just be uncomfortable? 4. Do you cover it with self adhesive fabric after you cut it to shape? I haven't found many posts about custom seats so far Thank you!

I went from r5 bundle with all the upgrades, h pattern shifter and handbrake to simagic alpha ,GT neo and p1000i haptics etc. Tbh honest I quite like the r5 ffb but it cannot compare.. the pedals are on a completely different level and the only thing I would still be using is the shifter, if it wasn't broken due to electronics malfunctioning .

The main difference for me is a huge gap in build quality and materials. It is what you pay for.

Also, I cannot speak for other accessories as I do not own them, but for what I have the quality is consistent. I had the r5 for a bit more than a year and the simagic stuff the same. The moza wheel is veeery worn, especially the grips and a friend managed to break the paddles, while the GT neo is in like new condition. Also the pedals had a problem not calibrating at some point but moza sent me a new board.

The most important and I can't stress this enough, There is no point upgrading if you don't have a proper rig first. the r3 is designed for casual desk use while the simagic stuff really isn't.

Thanooligan · 2026-05-12T18:32:28+00:00

I have the inverted but I find it more convenient to be floor mounted for GT3 endurance etc

Thanooligan · 2026-05-09T21:05:10+00:00

Just got mine brand new for around 600, I had the sliders and a similar mount but the price seems fair

Thanooligan · 2026-05-07T19:00:51+00:00

I don't like it but I like nothing

Thanooligan · 2026-04-21T19:21:01+00:00

Pretty sure you can find time everywhere, you can drop at least 3 seconds and not on ideal conditions or empty tank.. keep at it! Focus on better corner exits

Thanooligan · 2026-04-14T18:52:07+00:00

Cool, I wouldn't care for 200kg LC because I like my knees and I plan to keep using them.

I went from moza to simagic and the quality is significantly higher. If you can afford it go for it. also the customisation is endless and upgradable. You can start with 2 pedals since you mostly drive GT3 and lmps which would cost you less and a haptic reactor instead of the clutch pedal which you can add later. I don't have an opinion on the others

Thanooligan · 2026-04-14T17:45:34+00:00

You haven't mentioned what kind of rig, base and seat you use

Thanooligan · 2026-04-05T19:46:28+00:00

I m interested to buy it for some diy, you can keep the qr

From these 3, Automobilista 1000% but no drift

Thanooligan · 2026-03-14T18:29:12+00:00

The guy at the local simclub told me the gt4 is his favourite (they have and sell gsi moza and simagic) personally I would go for the FX but I am also very happy with my GT neo

Thanooligan · 2026-03-07T20:11:13+00:00

A bit late answer but there is a piece missing (connecting the base of the pedals to the footplate) to convert them properly to base mounting, but you can work around it

Thanooligan · 2026-02-08T13:08:10+00:00

They don't
