    Replaced my old Sparco Torino with a SimLab bucket seat last week...
    So I needed to relocate my rear speakers that were next to my ears on a bracket fixed to the Sparco.
    The 'ears' on this seat prevented continuing this setup, so I moved them down. Was a little bit afraid, but changing the f>r balance and adjusting the angle of the speakers took care of that and now I have more detail in the sound...which was actually a surprise to me...;)

    Update.
    Some of you might know Youtuber Barry of SimRacingGarage. Some weeks ago he testet and reviewed the "Thrustmaster true QR" made by Peter (Youtube: Peter Makes Things), and was enthusiastic about this. So i got in contact with Peter, asked if he is able to create a wall mount for his QR and ordered a big number of parts for all of my steering wheels.
    The idea is to replace the Thrustmaster parts with 3d printed parts and use the original Thrustmaster PS2 connector to get the signals from your steering wheel to the base. Peter is only delivering the printed parts, to make it work you have to order those cheap chinese slim QR for every wheel you will convert. I am totally satisfied with the result, so first things first, here ist the link to Barry's review:

    The link to Peters video for contact:

    I will just add 4 (bad quality) pictures, as i have problems with the light in this time of the year, and it's to dark to take proper fotos.

    Before you ask, i've ordered 1 base adapter, 7 adapters for Thrustmaster wheels, 3 custom wheel adapter and 8 wall mounts. Together with the 10 chinese QR adapters it was a ~450€ bill.
    I am totally satisfied with the result, if you are interested, watch the videos and get in contact with Peter. It's well worth the money, the print quality and fitting is perfect and it adds so much to the immersion.

    Monitor upgrade (Samsung c49rg94ssu)
    Puts the immersion to a whole new level. :)

    Got myself an early christmas present, the Thrustmaster Open Wheel Addon.

    The same time there was a mod available on ebay with LCD display and LED shift lights, so i purchased it, and installed it on my wheel.

    I was'nt happy with the look and build a cover out of plastic card. The cover and the plastic housing of the wheel was coated in the same color to make it look better.

    The front cover of this mod (which was a cheap piece of plastic) was rebuilt with a 1mm carbon plate. The wheel itself is covered with an anti scratch carbon foil cover, available on ebay. Some colored buttons of a Thrustmaster TMX wheel, some labels and a Mercedes badge finishs the new look of the wheel.

    Thanks for that! Wanted to see the coverage, and apparently still seems lacking (even compared to triple 23"). is that 4k?

    Indeed with a triple setup you get a much wider view..

    Hey guys, I could use some help. I'm thinking about a triple screen setup but can't decide which screens to buy. 120+ Hz, G sync, HDR and very thin bezels are desired. Can someone recommend something?

    Hard to tell which screen you should buy. Depends on your budget, which hardware you have etc.

    The monitor should have the specs I posted but I can't find any that has all of them. That's the reason I asked. The price and my hardware doesn't matter in this case because I simply want to know if there's a monitor on the market that can deliver what I would like to have. :)

    I understand but I can’t tell you if there is a monitor with the specs you’re looking for. :)

    Cant' tell you either, but don't pay too much attention on the width of the bezels. I was a bit worried when I got my screens, but even at 4 cm (2x2) they don't disturb me at all. Mine are 27", 144 Hz, 1 Ms BENQ's. If I ever change them, it would be for 32"...maybe...
