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.

WOW this page looks like the font of all knowledge for the B6
Im over in good old England, just upgraded from a fully tricked up B5m to a B6 for our winter indoor carpet racing season
loving the car and very impressed with the overall build quality and how well it seems to be thought out

so far I am liking it from what I am seeing, I need to still give mine the good ol full teardown and rebuild since its used (however, looks very good) but happy so far.
Mine came with those Kashima or whatever they are called shocks and the stock bodies still, anyone point keeping the stock bodies around (like say, certain, conditions, etc)?

Ok so I got the lunsford motor screws for my laydown. The only thing is that the driver rubs against the side rail when I try to screw the bottom screw. Anyone else have this issue? I guess it's because the lunsford screws have a 2.5mm hex. And I guess the only fix is to dremmel down a bit of the side rail.

Anyone using the anti roll bars? Suggestions on which to use for carpet? There's 3 different ones for the front and rear. Thank you.
EDIT: NVM. I see it really depends on the track itself.

Started to build my B6 today and now when i started to build the
diff the manuals says "Add a drop of Diff Lube (#6591)" i have looked in the box but cant find it?
Should it be included in the kit? Or can i use the included Black Grease instead or some other grease?

In the B6D kit, the clear diff lube should be included in a small tube the same size as the one for the black grease. I expect that the B6 kit with the gear diff may not come with the diff lube. If it is just calling for the drop of diff lube for the transmission gears the black grease will be okay.

The internal diff gears will be lubricated by the diff oil, and yes you can still lubricate the outer gear of the diff (with a dab of grease, or if you get the diff lube).
