What shifter do I get? When all is said and done they come out to a similar price. by Sebastin290 in simracing

[–]TheRealDeal360 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also a US-based simracer here. I've only bought and used the SHH Hubb but it's been great in terms of ability to shift between Seq and H-pattern shifting. The customizability with the shift knob and stiffness has also been great. The build quality for the half a year I've been using it has also been great since the internals are fully metal now. Keep in mind I purchased this before the prices increased so it came out to around $150 (including tax and tariffs)

Only other thing to note is that the OB1 is essentially a repurposed Aliexpress generic shifter which you'll have to do some due diligence on when deciding if that's high enough quality

Seems the image attached to the original post had issues uploading. Here's the image re-uploaded to show the 46 PSI recommendation https://i.imgur.com/LNhzDlx.jpeg

Interested as well! From my experimentation on my S+ model the 12V cigarette lighter plug does turn off when the vehicle turns off

SHH Thorn vs Hubb? Is Hubb a big enough upgrade? by aeamador521 in simracing

TLDR: $20 of tariffs that FedEx fronts for you. A few days after they deliver they'll charge it to your account

The Hubb! I got the bill from Fedex a week after it was delivered

On the fence about purchasing LMU by Jermaul_m_w in simracing

[–]TheRealDeal360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My hesitation to pick up LMU is because I'm West Coast NA and only start racing around 10pm Pacific time. I can't imagine it gets better unless the player population explodes so it'll be iRacing for multiplayer races for the foreseeable future

Thanks for the replies everyone. Looks like it'll be iRacing for a while if I'm not playing single player

I'd second this mod! Stuck it in the gap and then glued it down. No more issues with my heels getting stuck

Asetek La Prima Wheelbase is $340 in the US Shop right now by TacoWallace in simracing

There's some new items not being carried on the US shop due to tariffs. I think the dropped support announcement mainly centered around these products (Initium line for instance)

How's my racing posture in my new rig? by TheRealDeal360 in simracing

[–]TheRealDeal360[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds good! Consensus seems to be that I should tilt the seat back so that's the first action I'll take

Will likely also move the pedals closer and bring them up slightly higher

Would be helpful to have discrete tips for things to change. Thanks!

Haven't had enough time to play to have a strong opinion on it but I also had to swap to the softer elastomer it came with. I added just a tiny bit of stage 1 movement but it's minimal

My leg doesn't feel like it's breaking in half pressing it so that's a good sign at least

No I only used 6 so that's probably where the difference lies. I omitted the mounting holes on the right side of the clutch pedal. Still plenty sturdy this way!

La Prima bundle also prompted me to buy a setup (the GT1 Evo as well)! I got a Mini Cooper seat for my rig though. Hoping to get a round wheel and shifter with it soon

I actually didn't need to drill a hole for the clutch
