I've traditionally done the diff screw head on the left side (driver's side), but have since switched to the Right side (passenger side) regardless of transmission type (3 gear RM vs 3 gear MM and 4 gear MM). Kdub (Kurt Wenger, former AE designer) had this to say on the matter: I think I count as an authority on the matter. I always run my diff screw on the right side (when sitting "inside" the car). I take off the tire and pull the outer hinge pin to get to the adjustment screw.
The right rear is the way the AE manuals state (or used to state). It really shouldn't matter since you go around turns both left and right.

As long as the speed controller is sensored and has blinky (no-timing) mode, you'll be set for a long time. As you get better, keep bumping up the timing on the motor to the +15 setting and keep an eye on the temperature. I used to run the Vulcan 17.5 and it definitely needed to be bumped up from the stock setting to make more power. I geared it 31/72 on clay, so maybe try 28/72 for carpet since you'll have more traction. Check temps and gear up a tooth at a time.

Running my (built to kit specs) B6 on carpet. The car is pretty dialed but would like to settle the back end down a bit. Our track has very short landings that are pretty steep. If you come up a bit short it pitches the back over (donkey kicks). If I over jump the back will get the hops. Thicker oil? Smaller hole pistons?

You can get the quick access lay down gearbox on shapeways. I haven’t bought it yet but have done a bit of research with a couple people who did buy it. Minor fitting issue resolved by sanding. Seems like a good solution. I’ll be trying it myself as I don’t intend on using the stand up tranny anymore. Even in loose loamy conditions I’ve managed to get a good setup with the lay down.
The b5r arm mod works pretty good as well
