Cicak Racing Rig 2012

Today , I sold my Logitech MOMO and got myself a Logitech G27 . It was a worth upgrade. 900 Degrees of Rotation + H - Shifter + Clutch pedals, What else u need for a better racing experience.

However after 2 years of intensive racing , My G27's Shifter is no longer responsive and needed to get a replacement shifter . I aimed for the Thrustmaster TH8 RS but it took me 6 month to find it as it was low in stock in Malaysia.

The new shifter was much better then the Stock G27 Shifter. It have a better feel and have 8 gears , 2 more then the G27. It fit nicely to my racing rig.

Awesome !

Another fancy add-on I did on my rig recently was a smartphone rev-meter. You can use a smartphone to display useful information from your car such as RPM and Gear indicator.

Android.

Here's some video of my recent rig.

Cicak Sim Racing History ( Part 2 )

At the age around 16 , I finally got a wheel to replace my old damaged wheel. The Logitech MOMO form Logitech,

I was not a perfect wheel but It does its job and was better then my old wheel in terms of Force Feedback.Here's some video of me trying out the wheel . Around this time also I was introduced to a new franchise of Racing Games from Codemasters , F1 2010 and Dirt. 

Cicak Sim Racing History. ( Part 1 )

Hi , taking a break from STPM currently and wish to write on my history of Racing Games . I was fascinated by cars since a young age until now and was playing racing video games since I was 3. Here's my history on Racing Games.

1) Early Years . ( 3-5 years old )

During these times , I was obsessed with toy cars , Hot Wheels to be precise . One day , my dad installed a game called ''Screamer'' which is my 1st Racing and Video Game. I was hooked to this game and whole play it almost everyday.

Awesome Game

2) Wheel Era ( 5-10 years old )

Around 5 years old , my dad brought me a Racing Wheel as my Birthday present. I was so happy at that time. It was so different compared to the keyboard in terms of responds and enjoyment. It was so much better playing a Racing Game with a wheel. However , It tool me some time for me to get used to the wheel as its Force Feedback was too hard for me to handle that time. Around that time I was also introduced to the Need For Speed series for EA Games. My 1st NFS game was Need For Speed 2.

 3) Gamepad Era (10 -15 years old )

My wheel broke down when I was around 10 and was so sad. However , I got a gamepad ( Generic ones )
as a replacement for my wheel . It was not as fun as a Wheel but it was so much better.

At the age of 14 , I got a Xbox 360 controller to replace my generic gamepad. My god,  it was so much better then the generic gamepad. Analog triggers on the 360 controller allowed me to have progressive throttle and braking, no longer needed to tap the acceleration button repeatedly to do minor movements.

Best in it's class
