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.

Tech Adept
It does actually prevent delamination in crashes. I usually seal the edges with CA to prevent on my racing drones otherwise on 60mph+ crashes it will delaminate, and those frames are straight CF.

Result, crazy sexy black shiny CF edges...I get more chicks since AE went to CF towers

I sand/smooth/round the edges.. "color" the edge with a black Sharpie, then CA.

Well most certainly. What B6/B6d topic should we find most relevant to discuss my fine Sir?
All in good fun my friend

Looking to do a teardown and rebuild this weekend to prep for upcoming races.
For you "long time" owners, are there any areas I should keep an eye on when doing rebuild that you see specific to the B6/B6D?
Also, for the chassis protector sheets are you guys running the screws through them so you can still get access to remove things or pulling them when needed?
