I reckon the bump travel is mm. You can raise the height by the same amount you can increase travel, otherwise there is no point to it. I've finished a setup I'm happy with. Not fast but it's consistent and forgiving

yeah I'll try and have a solid go at a setup for this race, hopefully build something that helps me

I'm having a play now with the travel and height. Looks like travel range is a guess as to how far. Many modern cars are actually made to corner on bump stops. They're just big and squishy like secondary springs. This car doesn't seen to have adjustable bump stops anyway so it'll bang

You kinda missed what I meant. I mean that you're better off hitting bump stops than the underbody as that gets a lot messier. If you love your setup but it's hitting the ground then reduce the travel so that you hit the bump stops just before the car hits the ground. Downforce excluded I can't see anyway you could tune a car t run on the bump stops during straights then magically raise before a corner? Up the spring rate if you want it as hard as bump stops.

shouldn't the travel range fix this bottoming out? isn't that what it is there for? I haven't had time to play with the heights yet...
I mean you can set any car low, but if the shock bump travel is next to nothing then it cannot get an lower, so say your car is 20mm off the ground, if you set it to have only 10mm of travel then even with soft springs and dampers it can't bottom out.. (car to ground contact, not the struts bottoming out)

Here a slightly older shot of mine. Now have a fanatec shifter and surround sound.
The best part is using the phone as a dashboard via the ios dashboard app, you see it through the steering wheel as it should be. I spent a lot of time getting the ergonomics right and would love to spend some time making it beautiful. The only spare time I have is when kids are asleep though and that means no power tools!
Looks nice and Tidy, would probably come together a lot better if all the colours were matching but what ever, best thing I find is having everything in the exact same place every time you jump in.
Definitely, what I want to do is built another based on this layout. This was more of an ergonomic trial. I have the matching chair. It's just time...

Thanks for a great eventing all. Sorry imperious i dropped to 1st accidentally on luffield even after I deliberately tried to not cut you off and my car spun into you  I was doing well in the the second race thinking I could mix it with the big boys until I dropped a wheel in copse and spin, luckily didn't collect anyone else. Had an awesome time trying to catch Rob. I kept thinking I'll have him soon but he kept dropping more time off his lap as did I, so I never really got the chance!

I found the .2.5 version a LOT better than the previous versions .2.0 version. It's really enjoyable now with no more if the "why did that happen?" moments.

Good news for me, I was going to go reserve rather than have Imp drop out after having his AC appetite being whet.
My appetite is whet. Happy to have you drop out for me!
