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.

yup. There is a section where it transitions from Gray ozite to this Tan stuff. That tan stuff has a bit more traction, but it gets bumpy on some sections, in particular on a turn that comes right at the end of the back straight. When I hit that with my current setup I get kicked around and sometimes grip rolls there from the the bumps.
I don't see this issue on my wheeler which uses similar tires so i am thinking a setup issue.
Outside of that, I like the setup, just need to get it a bit more consistent when things get a bit more bumpy and a hair more rear traction.

If you are running a fairly traditional carpet setup (very light weight rear), i would recommend 2x1.8 rear pistons.

I would start with 32.5 to 35 depending on track and temperature.

gray or blue is a good starting point

Hey guys. Took my new B6 out for its first practice day yesterday. Cool kit but it actually didn't blow my mind like I thought it would. Feel and drivability was similar to my old B5 and in some ways the B5 was better. I'm sure there are many factors involved here but my question is, are there any MUST DO adjustments for the B6? With the B5 there were things like 3mm trailing inserts, pistons and hub adjustments that just made the car way better. Anything like that on this platform? I'm on medium/high bite clay running lay down, gull wing and ball diff. Car is good but not amazing. Thoughts?
