To be honest LFS at 25% felt stronger than AC at 50% (if kurb effects etc. useless shit is turned off).
Generally, wheels lose ff when the motors overheat, that's why maxing your ff strength is a bad idea in the long term. You may need to look at the resistors or the heat sinks, ventilation, something like that maybe replace the motors... My old wheel used an RC car motor...
You don't need to do anything with the pedals. It's just my opinion. I couldn't drive them in that condition, it just felt retarded. I knew that I could do something to make them alive again. After all mods, they are rock solid. Yes, I'm a little bit of DIY (do it yourself) freak
Those FFB motors are pretty much standard ones, they should be available in almost every radio shack store.
prasanths96: yeah, I know exactly how you feel. The erliest memory about similar situation I have, was back in 1997, when I was 10yo-ish. I still remember how long it took me to convince my dad, that I need a PC (at that time the best PC was pentium - CPU 133MHz, 16MB ram, 1GB hdd, gfx 2MB!). Oh boy, happy times
You must trade something for it. Offer him some work you can do in the house, school grades, or something..

My parents basicly bought one for themself back in 1999, but I became the main user xD. It was a Compaq computer. 450Mhz of raw CPU power, can't remember RAM, 4gb HDD and pretty terrible gpu. Windows 98... We later bought more RAM and bigger HDD for it, but it didn't do much to be honest. I accidentally blew the thing apart when it started to have larger problems, when I touched the PSU's 230v/110v switch by accident.
