I've had this sitting in a box the last five or so years so time to move it on. It's approx eight years old and connects wirelessly to an Xbox 360 or via USB to PC. You can buy adaptor box thingies to make it work with other platforms but you'll need to Google it as I've no idea if they're any good or not. When I discovered it wasn't compatible with the XB1 I used that as an excuse to upgrade to a CSL wheel and Clubsport pedals lol. Load cell brake pedal and I bought the optional pedal inversion kit for a more realistic feel.
When I put it away the soft touch plastic on the bottom and sides was beginning to go sticky, then when I pulled it out again recently the plastic had a coating of tar, so I spent several hours stripping it down and cleaning the affected parts. It's all nice and clean now but I did crack one of the parts whilst cleaning and repaired it with superglue (pictured). It has no effect now it's all screwed back together but I thought I'd mention it for transparency. The alcantara patches are a bit tired and could maybe do with replacing but I'll leave that for the new owner to decide.
All the cables and accessories are supplied so it's just a matter of plugging in, downloading the latest firmware and away you go. It's not the latest and greatest but still better than most low to mid range wheels and you'll need around £600 for an 'entry level' Fanatec wheel these days. £180 takes it collected from Newtownabbey.
