Is that with my 90% discount? ;)

That's RRP, check out my website for the street price.:cool:

They in stock?

No, they haven't even been released yet!:p

If you order one online you will be mailed when they become available and you won't be charged until your kit is ready to ship.

Southwell told me to say it lol

I said they wernt out u fool.

it may or may not have already been posted in this thread somewhere, but i can't be arsed sifting through it....

is there an official (or even a rough estimate) Uk release date?

September.......... ish ?

*Sigh* my christmas list just got longer :(

Dom... cheaper... than... RRP...

wow

I have recently heard that the B44 slipper may fit in the BJ4 WE and i was wanting to know if this is true or not. As i have also heard that it can make a hell of a difference aswell. I would like to know as i wouldn't mind trying one out if it will fit in my BJ4 WE. Just to see the difference, e.g. if it easyer to use, or if it is just the same as the other one, performance wise.:)

the information I have is that it 'will' fit the BJ4, but you might need to use some bearing caddys or something like that.

you will proberbly have to use the B44 front and rear main drive shafts too.

its easier to adjust and less prone to backing off from what I hear.

B44 Slipper in a BJ4

probably be cheaper to by the B44 then :p

get Jimmy to snap a few pics, I think they are running them in their BJ4's out there.

Not sure if this view has been seen before, but here a picture of the underneath of a B44, showing the new composite rear end.

is the release date still going to be the end of September? Or has anyone heard of some kind of 'delay'?

you getting one then stan ???

cml are taking pre orders from shop's so release shouldnt be that far away. would have thought just after the worlds so 3rd or 4th week of sept is my bet.

baffles me :wtf: , its just anouther layout or way of a slipper clutch .... :D

I think if you look at the slipper on the ZX5 KMRC conversion (which has a similar layout) it's a similar slipper to that from what I can see.. it just has more room for adjustment and can be tuned whilst the car is together, or even on the start line.

the benefit of this slipper is that it actually IS a slipper as oposed to the BJ4 'slipper' unit which is just a means to save the gears.

spot on!

The new slipper is an improvement for ease of adjustment. It can be adjusted while in the car, and the larger spring makes the adjustment less sensitive.

However, there is no difference in how the two slippers function. Both assemblies use the same spur gear and slipper pads, which are compressed between two hard anodized aluminum plates. If both slippers are set correctly, they will perform the same.

B44 slipper doesn't look much different to the above prototype

How much shorter is the front drive shaft please brad. Are the motor mounts the same size bearings will it fit straight in the bj we besides the drive shaft?

;) cheers chris

New updated delivery date is late october now:(

to help you with the wait, you can look at the exploded diagrams at the CML website...

http://www.cmldistribution.co.uk/pro...tId=0000002808

it might answer some questions that you have

:(:(:(:(

so wot actually are the changes that will make the car faster/easier to drive than a BJ4 WE?? (apart from the slipper)

thanks

Rear kick up

The chassis isn't angled up at the back like the B44, you can achieve the same effect on the suspention on the BJ4 by spacing the blocks up a bit. Granted you dont get the extra groung clearence at the back though.
I've tried it before, it worked really well at Tiverton a couple of years ago when it was really broken up, but everywhere else I've prefered the blocks flat onto the chassis.

This will alter the rear roll centre as well though?

Yeah it has a similar effect to increasing the angle of the toplink but more so, as you are also altering the angle of the wishbone for the same ride height as well as the relative distance between the upper and lower pivot's.
It also changes driveshaft scrub/plunge as it changes the angle of the wishbone relative to the driveshaft which is probably why it changes how the car goes over bumps on power.

Rich, you lost me at YEAH! LOL!

I like a bit of plunge angle!

Haha :D

Whittle translation :- higher blocks = more better over bumps and more worserer round corners :p

So who has pre-orderd a B44 :confused:

can anyone tell me if the B4 rims / wheels fit the b44??
