have? Looking for a playseat for the Xbox wireless wheel. Found couple but not compatible.

Thanks!

I have a regular first-gen playseat. Previous owner attched the MS wheel with velcro.

I was lazier and just used self tapping screws and zip ties.

how stable is the first gen? I was looking at the classic and the evolution and some people were saying the classic was wobbly/not as sturdy. There is like a 100+ difference in price, but if the sturdiness is an issue i'll probably go with the evolution

There's a definate wobble in the 1stgen version. I fixed it with some 1x1 tubing, and a few washers. I extended the front legs by drilling the 1x1 and spotwelding it to the original legs, i then welded washers to the joints with adjustment points to take the slop out.

If you're not handy, buy the newer one. I haven't tried the newer myself though. From my perspective, i paid 100 bucks for it, and got to play with the welder and the grinder for 30 minutes, and it became everything I needed.

I expect to see the occasional car pr0n here, but now game pr0n!!!? That is a sweet set up... much better than bolting a wheel onto the coffee table.

These Sparco's are sturdy and feel just like a car. Will accept any wheel.Many hours have been wasted in these.
