The Playseat Forza 4 Edition Revolution Sim-Racing Seat is modeled after real, race seat styling, and consists of extra strong, lightweight, black powder coated tubular steel framework with high-tension spring and wire system. The seat chassis and wheel/pedal support framework are manufactured using extra strong, heavyweight, powder coated steel with specially designed steel tubing featuring aluminum quick release pressure handles to allow for multi-point adjustment of the peripheral support plates while preserving the framework. The high profile side bolsters with ultra high-density foam create a fully upholstered feel and is featured in the highest-quality synthetic leather available with official Forza 4 branding. The Forza 4 Edition Playseat also includes reinforced synthetic leather patches in the high wearing areas to reinforce durability, features a removable seat back and base cushions and a patented fold down system for easy storage.

The Forza 4 Revolution features a newly patented, fully adjustable steering wheel support plate to allow for preferred angle and quick adjustment of wheel location while supporting PC and console wheel & pedal sets on the market [including Fanatec CSR/Porsche and Thrustmaster T500RS sets]. The Forza 4 Edition Playseat will also be Playseat's first sim-race chassis to feature Playseat's new, fully adjustable foot pedal plate. This new foot pedal plate now allows for full support of Fanatec's CSR/CSR Elite/Porsche Club Sport Foot Pedal sets in addition to existing sets already supported, and allows drivers to adjust their foot pedals to the perfect driving angle.

The Forza 4 edition Revolution supports Playstation2, Playstation3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, and PC wheel/pedal sets, including MadCatz wireless wheel [XBox360], Thrustmasters T500RS [PS3/PC] and 458 Edition [XBox360]and Fanatec's CSR/CSR Elite/Porsche wheels and Club Sport Pedals [XBox360]. Industrial strength velcro is included.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not compatible with Fanatec wheel or pedals, November 24, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Playseat Limited Edition Forza Motorsport 4 Racing Seat (Sports)
I just received the Forza 4 Playseat and a Forza 4 Fanatec wheel and the CSR Elite pedals. I was very disappointed to find that neither the steering wheel or the pedals fit the playseat. Given that the description clearly states that they are compatible and that the Fanatec and the seat are Forza 4 special edition, they should work together, right? Even more disappointing is that I tried to get customer service from playseat.com and they told me that they are only resellers. They would not tell me how to contact the actual playseat people to get this fixed. All they would really need to make it work is a plate with holes at the right place for the steering wheel. It is possible to drill holes yourself to make it work but with the seat selling for $500 and the wheel for $250, I don't expect to have to drill holes to make it fit. Worse is the pedals. The plate for the pedals is to short by several inches. There is no way with the current plate to attach the CSR pedals securely to the... Read more

Fanatec CSR Elite Steering Wheel:
Initially when I received this product the steering wheel plate was not pre-drilled for Fanatec steering wheels. However, after some research on this, I found out that Playseat were working on getting the correct wheel plates and are sending it out to any customers that require it so that the customer does not have to drill the holes themselves. This is at no charge to the customer. You can find out more from Playseats web site or their Facebook page.

I received the new pre-drilled plate and it lined up perfectly to my CSR Elite wheel (using the angle brackets included with the wheel). The only thing is that they only pre-drilled two holes (one for each side) instead of four holes. They told me this is by design and it is sufficient. Upon my testing, the two holes was indeed sufficient to hold down the CSR Elite wheel without any issues.

The only gripe is I wish the position of the wheel was a bit more adjustable as I would... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great!, December 9, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Playseat Limited Edition Forza Motorsport 4 Racing Seat (Sports)
It worked perfectly for me. It does include all 4 holes to mount the Clubsport pedals since the base is smaller than the CSR Elite pedals. However, I had to drill holes for the Fanatec CSR wheel which is temporarily since Playseat will be sending free updated wheel plates if u purchase this seat. They expect to ship the plates on 12/15...lets see if it holds true...

I was looking for a Buttkicker Gamer2 but those are on backorder everywhere and I heard those are not strong enough so I went ahead and purchased a Pearl Throne Thumper (15% off in Amazon) which is made by Buttkicker and is basically a Buttkicker Advance transducer with a paint job and a 200 watt Amp. It works wonders and its easy to mount if you follow AKATrent's guide in YouTube, I soldered the socked instead of using just a bolt. And I can also use it with my Roland TD20 :-)
