Does anyone use a driving wheel to play? or does everyone just use the controller? ---

I just use the controller as my system is in my SMALL ass room with a queen size bed. Maybe 6 feet between me and the TV. Sitting on my bed. The sensitivity of the controller bugs me on winding turns. But you get used to it. Speaking of which. How the fuck do you adjust the steering/clutch/brake and all that under set up for optimal settings and feel? ---

What are the specs you guys set it at? I set my s14 to exactly how I had my GBtires s14 back 2years ago. camber -2.5/-1.5 rear caster 6 front sway medium rear sway soft (I like having grip) Y rated tires 225/45/17 front, 245/40/17 rear upgraded all engine and suspension…everything. diff 80% lock brake pressure 80% What am I missing? All I ever get is epic spinout failure. ---

We should set up a SON240 drift online meet thing. lmao Im usually on every night before bed. Most of the time I’m doing season play how ever. ---

I don’t know crap about setting up a cars suspension in real life. These are the settings I use. I use the wheel though, so they might not work for controller users. -4 camber up front -2.5 rear 0.0 front toe +0.2 rear toe 5 (default) caster sway bars I leave default. Sometimes I mess with them but not often. I think I’m used to drifting on the game though. Honestly drifting stock tune is sometimes the best option to learn to drift. Then tube from there after you get the hang of it. We should get a SON lobby up this weekend. ---

^ I think it’s because of Sony’s relationship with Logitech, but I could be wrong. Kinda sucks – if you could use the G25 with Forza 3, I’d definitely pickup a 360. ---

It’s not because of Sonys relationship with Logitech. The Xbox 360 hardware just doesn’t support the G25. There is a Logitech wheel for the 360, but it’s just as bad as the MS wheel. ---
