okey cool, i suppose your size/type chair would be good for me too!

Maybe I should be taller, than I would be as fast as you also maybe ;)

good luck on the carpet.

been testing it out tonight, and it is in desperate need of some adjustments,

the steering wheel is to far away so my shoulders hurt, and the angle of my pedals is a bit to steep so my ankles hurt..

glad i made it all adjustable!

I think you need to place the wheel more flat, i mean now there is a curve. On default the wheel is like a truck wheel. in a race car the wheel is almost vertical placed. When i attach my wheel to the desk, i have no cockpit, i always put an Edding 3000 pencil under it, on the back side of the wheel. Then your wrists will not hurt because there is no angle in the wrists.

Try is out and you will see it feels much better with a vertical wheel.
