"It's got force feline"

Way lighter than a human, far better reaction times. If only they had opposable thumbs, cats could dominate motor racing

Way too sleepy for endurance racing though.

I acutally got it for free because my father's driver seat was pretty worn out and he replaced both.

Oh WOW that thing really was worn out, I’m seeing the blue/greens as grey

[–] mcforest@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Blue/greens? There never was blue/gree, always has been grey.

I’ve got mk5 seats in the back of my rabbit and it seems to have some blue and green tinge to some of the grey lines.

Maybe my eyes just sucks

My mk7 is def red grey black

[–] mcforest@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ah. It's possible that VW used different colors for their seats for different models. But the GTI seems to always have red/grey/black at least since the 5th generation.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

Oh these are gti seats from a mk5, the rear seats.

I’m probably just misremembering my own car cuz I’m old af lmao

Excuse me that's a loaf

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

Love the gti seat

Nice, a fellow simracer in Lemmy :)

What games are you playing mate?

[–] mcforest@feddit.org 2 points 5 days ago

I'm getting into AMS2 after it was on sale in the summer and I raced 12h of Bathurst in ACC the last weekend.

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I have always wanted a force feedback racing wheel but I don't play racing games.

Hmmm...

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

That’s some real kitty power

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago

My cats won't go anywhere near my wheel-and-pedals computer since the wheel surprised them with its "power on calibration", where it quite noisily suddenly spins itself all the way left and all the way right.
