When i owned a BJ4 WE i found the thing that broke the most was the front wishbones and i no a few other people that ran the car had the same problem. But any car will break if hit at the right angle....

I still can't believe you went through that massive pack of all those wishbones AND then snapped the beefy alu bulkhead!!!
I ran that car the whole year before you had it and only broke one or two wishbones. Must be a special talent of yours...

Hope you have enough spare for tomorrow!

awesome, i was goin careful thinkin that i had no spares. and at start i had it totally geared wrong had to go up 8 teeth. but it had bags of grip all i did all day was change the rear springs to silver. and i think that was a wrong move for the conditions in the final. best result ive had. cant wait till i can drive it properly

For those who already received the kit:

Does it come with a front one way or centre one way? Does the car need one to be competitive on astro or indoor (carpet)

Thanks!

ive never really liked the one way, used one ones an didnt notice the difference. but the b44 doesnt come with one. and i have one used it on astro and carpet so far. but it felt really good.
