The BIG BAD B44 thread...

[Kriss]

Hi all, my B44 should be arriving today!! cant wait!! Just thought i would setup a thread for people to share tips, setups, pros, cons, strengths, weaknesses, modifications etc First questions from me is...how are people setting the car up for indoors on carpet?? Is it similar to a B4 shock wise etc

[Chris Doughty]

its not like an america forum where people set up a whole thread and ram everything into it.

this whole sub-section is devoted to AE, if you have a question, just post a new topic up in here.

in answer to your question, just go with the kit setup and go heavier on the oil by 5wt or so, maybe a harder spring.

depends what kind of indoor track really, will there be lots of carpet, lots of polished floor??

I think it was Rich Cree that posted on the AE forum that he ran 35F and 30R at Newbury which was an indoor mixture of carpet and wood.
Silver/Green or Silver/silver seems most commen

Would a dedicated B44 setup and setup discussion sticky threads by any use on here?

is that you jimmy?? :P yer a dedicated thread would be nice.

on a crapet track i bin runnin no.1 pistons all round 40F 35R. blueF silverR. inside holes and drop it abit lower. puttin a screw in the front wishbones to stop the hinge pin comin out the back is a good idea need a few modifications though to do this and also doin some filing on the top decks so the wires arent cut to peices.

cheers for the prompt replies lads much appreciated. In the middle of building my car right now. Ive done the shock as follows: Rear - p1, 30wt, silver. Front - p2, 35wt, silver. Will give it a run at the weekend if i get a chance and see what its like. Btw yeh jimmy i think at dedicated setup threat etc would be a good idea means all the info ya need is easy to get hold of.

silver springs all round with 40wt front and 35wt rear is good for indoors
