Thanks guys. It is really been evolutionary but I feel like I have addressed the shortcomings of earlier versions. Need to put together a video and a business plan and then submit it all to Kickstarter.com

The nice thing about kickstarter is that you will get some advertising just by putting up a project.  Also if you get enough orders you can hire people to help.  The hard thing about kickstarter is that, if successful you will start with a bunch of orders at once which might be overwhelming.  Just something to think about.

When you are ready, I can put something up on the iRacing forum either to advertise or check for interest.  The iRacing hardware forum is probably the best simracing equipment forum that I visit.

Thanks 11. I about hurt myself dragging it into the condo. It weighs 55kg. I ordered it almost 3 weeks ago and was beginning to wonder if I would ever see it. It ships from Bulgaria so I guess thats why.

I'm sure you are right, but I don't seem to have that kind of time and I sure can't drunk drive a real kart.

Any idea what the shifter upgrade kit gives you that the regular shifter thingy doesn't?  I really like the button box/tablet add on.  I'd really like a cockpit with a proper keyboard tray, button box mount, and mounts for separate sequential and h-pattern shifters and since I'm only dreaming, cost is no object.

This beast weighs a ton and refuses to be bunny hopped. )

I'm not 100% sure about the shifter upgrade, but it looks to me like the shifter adapter the unit comes with will work for all shifters already.

It seems like they have continued to update this rig and made it more universal. I copied and pasted the current specs I could find.
 
Specification

Support PC, PS3, XBOX
Seating position Rally/GT
Footprint dimensions: L/W/H 1300-1480 mm. x 688 mm. x 1100 mm. (51.2” – 58.27”) x 27.1” x 43.3”
Wheels -Thrustmaster T500RS – Fanatec Porsche GT2/GT3, CSR and CSR Elite, Clubsport Wheel, Logitech G27/G25
Pedals – Thrustmaster T500RS – Fanatec clubsport V1, V2 – Logitech G27/G25, and more..
Shifters – Thrustmaster TH8RS, Fanatec ClubSport Shifters, DSD Shifter, Logitech G25/G27 and more..
Buttkicker ™ Gamer 2, Pearl ™ THMP1, ButtKicker ™ Simulation Kit, and more.. (need Buttkicker upgrade kit. See below)
All tools and screws to attach your wheel, shifter and pedals are provided.
Logitech® Z906 5.1 Sound system (need Speakers upgrade kit. See below)
D-BOX ™ motion Ready - kit 3250i, 4250i (need upgrade kit. See below)
Tablet/Buttonbox support (need upgrade kit. See below)
2 year Warranty on all Rseat Manufactured components including chassis and seat
Made in EU.



Also, this thing is built to last a lifetime.

Also, also, the only issue I have is with the pedal plate. Because of its design I can not install the bottom screws to mount the CSR Elite pedal set. It is still solid with only the two top screws and should not be a problem. I could however bust out a grinder and make clearance if needed.
