> 3 dayYou get what you pay for. The price and look of this seat pulled me in. It is functional and well packaged. Every tool u need is in the box. Follow the simple instructions and you have a nice cockpit. But it is not perfect. You get what you pay for. It is basically on the ground. Not an easy in and out for an old guy like me. I noticed the pics of it being used all have the stilts or lift kit. And they can be yours for a bit more money. Also noticed that the top of the seat does not conform to the driver. They advertise a racing headrest type pillow to attach there. More dollars. After that it is good go to go. Very sturdy. Fully adjustable for all driver shapes and sizes. With the add-ons it is a great seat. Just have to pay for the extras.

> 3 dayThis seat is awesome. It does everything you needed to do mounts everything including joystick and throttle if you want to play flight games. Is comfortable adjustable and fits every manufacturer . Plus you cant go wrong with the price. There a lot of more expensive seats out there quite frankly I dont think there worth it. The seat is phenomenal. But I have to say one more thing. Im 36 years old and quite frankly I cant remember the last time I have got such great customer service. I called for some basic help and I ended up getting A lot more than I even called for. The best customer service, I can remember every having. Its like back in the day, small businesses That actually cares for the customer . Trust me high quality professional seat builder /fabricator . If you may have read and some of the Question and answers on Amazon it will verify everything Im saying. If you have any problem dont hesitate to call the company, they will help you. Theyre willing to send out beta test stuff which I ended up getting for my joystick and throttle, plates for mounting plus Extra metal mounting bars so you could quick release between flying and driving. The one thing I would recommend Is purchased a 5 inch spacers to lift the seat up off the base when you buy the seat is worth the extra $40. If you have a whole monitor set up well maybe you dont have to worry about that but if youre playing like me with your TV Elevated. It is a must have! I You want the five inch lift spacers To have a great angle at your TV. . And one more time I cannot say it enough About the customer service, I have been a real pain in the butt to the company LOL. But theyre so kind so caring They will help you out with whatever you need if theres anything wrong they will take care of it for you all you have to do is give a phone call. I cant think of any other company right now that sells products that does what this company does! When it comes to customer service and taking care of any of your problems . And when I say problems I dont mean theres something wrong with the seat Its perfect. But if you need something else say a set of joystick plates to mount your joysticks and All you have to do is call and ask and they will take care of it even if they have to fabricate you mounts from scratch its amazing. If you fly flight games simulations Or use it for anything else that doesnt come with it I promise you this company is phenomenal they will take care of you!!! Best purchase Ive made in a very long time! Best $400 Ive ever spent. There is nothing like purchasing a product having phenomenal customer service in case you need anything else or there are any issues. I will upload a few pictures. Dont hesitate buy this seat! Sorry my pictures Arent a little better lol My room isnt as clean as it should be. If anybody has any questions feel free to ask. If you factor in the quality of the seat all the available hookups for your gear, and the most incredible customer service ever you cannot go wrong ! Sincerely, Nick

> 3 dayCompared to other brands like Next Level or GT Racing, You get MUCH MUCH more for your buck. Great build quality and even better upgradability. I just ordered the 5 raising kit and wow its perfect. Do yourself a favor and buy this one. I did extensive research and for the lower tear racing cockpits, this is hands down the best option. Fast shipping and included actual tools to assemble. I was shocked to see some actual wrenches included. Great product.

Greater than one weekThis is almost exactly what I wanted for my racing set up. I didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg and this still feels quality. It went together easily and works perfectly with my Logitech wheel. The only thing I wish it had was a seat with a little more lumbar support. My back does not love being in the chair for extended periods of time. Maybe I will upgrade the seat later on.

> 3 dayGot this in December, my son and I have logged quite few hours since. This thing is built solid. No flex or unwanted movement. There are cheaper options but the quality of this one is worth the extra cost. Just my $0.02.

Greater than one weekThis sim rig is awesome! It is made from thick quality steel, that makes the unit strong and stable. Personally I love how versatile the system is, you can easily convert from a HOTAS to a driving simulator to a civillian yoke and pedal flight simulator. Want your flight stick center mounted between your legs you can do that, want it off to the side can do that as well! The only negatives thing I can say is it absolutly should come with the 5 inch seat height kit as it is a must have! Also the center post mounting of the steering wheel can rub on your legs but they offer a direct drive wheel mount that does away with the center post and has a more standard table style wheel mount so if you decide the center post is a bother ( really doesnt bother me) you can change that as well! Basically its customizeable to anything you could want IMO! Love this cockpit!

Greater than one weekIve had this rig for about 2 weeks now. Shipping was fast! Ordered on Monday morning and got it Thursday afternoon. Assembly was quick and easy. All the parts came individually packaged and most were labeled. The instructions were pretty good, the best part is ALL the tools were supplied! After about 10min of fidgeting with my new seat I got down to business. Majority of this is held together with turn knobs, they are larger in size and have a nice rubber coating, which makes tightening everything easy and comfortable. The hand full of bolts that I did use were all in easy places to get to. Assembly took me less than 15min. Let me pause and mention that the materials used are TOP NOTCH! The metal frame is heavy, the plate used for the pedal stand is thick and doesnt flex, and the seat is well put together. The slider feels smooth, and the recliner locks firmly into place. Again this thing is solid!!!! I went with the thrustmaster tx with tp3a pro pedals, and TH8A shifter. The plate for the base comes pre drilled for the base, and hardware is supplied. Mine were individually packaged and labeled. Under heavy steering the plate does flex a bit but its really not worth mentioning. The pedals were mounted with ease, the foot plate again comes pre drilled and hardware was supplied & labeled. The shifter mount is at a perfect angle and once secured feels sturdy. The holes for the TH8A shifter were a little off center and required a little finesse to get the bolts in and tightened, but once it was buttoned up every felt great. (Id like to add a note about the shifter mount and the shifter itself. I have BANGED gears with this. Literally tried shifting so hard I thought I was gonna break something. Never once had an issue with it coming loose or moving) Now with a all good things in life theirs always a con. My only complaint about this is, the shaft that holds the steering plate is too long. I ended up having to cut 2 off the bottom to keep from hitting my feet against the bar. Its right in the middle of the break pedal so stopping was a bit of a challenge at first. Im a short guy (55) and I feel like this was the main reason for my difficulty. I had to lower the base to its lowest setting to be comfortable for me other taller users might not have this issue, but again this was a very minor down fall that was quickly solved with a Sawzall. Over all I am very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this to anybody else.

> 3 dayThe only tricky part of assembly was fitting the seat back portion to the base of the seat. Just couldnt see where to fit the bolts into the slots. Other than that, it was pretty straight forward. All the parts are strong as a coffin nail. I have a Logitech G29 wheel and pedals. Quite simple to install onto the new assembly. Easy to adjust the pedal position from center spot to the left position, making it much easier to use the brake pedal. Im 63,,,,300 lbs. This set works perfectly. I just order the height angle boost. Should make the experience that much more enjoyable.

Greater than one weekThis chair in conjunction with the Logitech G920 wheel and pedals (and shifter) have turned a couple of fun games like Forza 6 and Project Cars into a serious addiction! Ive seriously never had more fun with video games in my entire life than I have racing around in this chair. This rig is infinitely adjustable and very stable, which some other racing seat designs appear to be lacking. I have no idea what the reviewer who said the wheel cant be raised or lowered means. Im a pretty tall dude, so in most cars (especially with manual transmissions), compromises to proper seating position have to be made, but not so with the Openwheeler cockpit. Im able to get the wheel exactly where it needs to be, and with plenty of travel room left over. The two times I have contacted customer service in regards to this chair, the responses I received were above and beyond anything I ever expected. I have seldom been as impressed with a company as I am with Home Racer. Im given the impression these people really care about the product theyre selling. Speaking of which - I have to get back. These races arent going to win themselves!

> 3 dayIm impressed with the excellent build quality. The documentation and pictures as well as the clearly labeled parts inventory is one of the best Ive ever seen. The shipping container was well packed and no damage to contents at all. Im familiar with simulators (the real ones that we train jet pilots in) with about 20 years in that industry; and with airplanes (40 years) and working on airplanes (and a few cars). These guys produce a very credible product. When I told them I found some rust on the interior of the seat back they sent me an immediate replacement; like that very same day! With their great instructions I had zero problem assembling the thing, adding the seat the risers and the flight sim set up they have. All hardware appeared excellent quality and they included all the tools you need to do all the assembly they have in the instructions. I cant recommend them enough. My son is a flight surgeon (Doc to Pilots) in the Air Force with 3 tours in F-16s in the US, Korea and Germany. Now that hes seen my flight sim rig he decided he has to have one of his own. I guess the real thing just isnt enough. Great job guys! I appreciate it.
