Interested to see how much the pricing would be. The hydro graphics carbon fibre effects are really cool!

Plain old water transfer, it's work great on gun stock too!
Just don't know if it can stand the hit of gravel?!

I think they apply a lacquer over top of it which i think Kai also does apply a layer of lacquer judging from his pictures.

Someone had contact with Kai in the last week?
No luck in getting in touch with him.

Me neither. I actually wanted to have the display replaced (I would have paid him, of course) by him, since he's the one who knows more about it. All I got was a cryptic email asking (I think that's what he was asking!) if I got his previous e-mail - I didn't and neither did I receive another e-mail when I said I didn't.

I ended up doing it myself but to be frank: I thought highly of Kai but with his lack of replies, or even posts about being absent for longer, I don't know what to think about all this at the moment or if I can still recommend his service with a good heart.

A product is only as good as the service & customer contact associated with it.

Can only agree with you Tom.
Wanted to have my wheel updated, indeed new display aswell, leather stitched handles etc...

Never had a complaint before about his service and customer contact.
Hopefully nothing serious has happened.
Maybe a small holiday or quick break

I thought it was difficult but in fact it was pretty easy to do - especially if you have just another, say, Simrace (i.e. upgrading from the Simrace Pro to the Simrace Deluxe) display and not a Leo Bodnar display instead. In that case you don't even have to change the colored cable connected to your rotary encoders, you can simply plug it back into the new display and it's all good.

I think the leather grips might be a lot more difficult to replace and fit tho. :/

I'm in contact with Kai, he is hard at work with the wheels and have a lot of pre orders to do. After move to a new home, he have still connection problems. He write to you as fast as he can.

Ok thanks for the heads up. Give my regards to Kai, and hopefully his internet gets sorted.

Hey Markus, do you have word from Kai, if he already sent the E-Mails, because I've got no mail from him.
Can you verify that please?

markusmatthias · Nov 13, 2013

Some short news about Kai. He is back on track! Tomorrow there is a HP side update. All prorder's should get an email shortly. Stay tuned!

Tom · Nov 13, 2013

I'd prefer to him to get in touch with people directly instead of having other people relay his news or - at least - reply to emails. Doesn't add to the seriousness of his business, not at all.

I also only a customer of Kai and waited 6 months on my steering wheel. Kai had big personal problems and I hope he has now clarified everything. He's got great potential and by me a second chance. He has managed two steering wheels last week, one of them was mine. And it's a masterpiece.

Giulio · Nov 18, 2013

The steering wheel has now left this morning.
Hopefully come soon.

MarcoB · Nov 20, 2013

Dear simracer, the first wheel has just arrived (post of Giulio), the work is great, now I wait for the second

Well i don't know what exactly is happening, on his web page it says that you're 2 wheels had been shipped on 30.09 and only today you recieved one of them?????? That means i will have to wait at least 6 more months to get mine so it will be almost 1 year then. I really hope i am wrong.

MarcoB · Nov 23, 2013

Dear Chris, 30/09 there is a problem and has not been sent anything.
The first wheel was shipped last week, I hope the second Monday
Consider that I'm waiting for nine months, I hope that Kai has solved its problems.
The steering wheel is superb, but the time spent is much

Tks for the update. And btw it's C H I S not C H R I S, both you and Kai spelled it wrong.
