i bought one when i was in the craze of playing racing games on both the PC and the Xbox, got the one with multiple ports (PC/PS/PS2/Xbox/the pre-Wii nintendo console(forgot the name)) complete with steering wheel, gear stick(optional via a cable connection if u want to use it) and pedals, even got the F1 gear changing levers in case u dun wanna use the gear stick.
sure it was fun, but only can rotate at most 90 deg to the left or right, controls were horribly laggy and super sensitive, tried out other similar set ups but also with the same experience. to make a slight turn, gotta steer ever so slightly to the sides and like 1 sec b4 u actually do using a controller... it's so easy to oversteer and lose control as a result.
not too sure about these things these days, kinda lost the thrill of playing racing games
from what you described, your set-up sure sounds expensive
What is missing is only the car frame
or wait, dun tell me you have that too!
