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.

Has anyone thought about a mid motor design that can be rotated or reconfigured to be rear motor version?

I had a 22 rm before the B5, them b5m. I was racing outdoors and it was ok. I could never make it great. The b5 rm was much better imo. Then I moved and started racing indoor high bite and have run the b5m since. I really liked the b5m. I am hoping the B6D is even better.

i'm thinking the hot ticket at my track will be the laydown tranny with the flat front arms. so i'll probably end up buying the B6D and the laydown parts (i'll be curious to see the weight of this setup). i'll probably wait and see what the hot ticket at my track is. we already have a few fast guys that run a laydown.

Tech Regular
I pre-ordered the B6D and plan to do the laydown swap too. I run a laydown gearbox now and love it, so the new car should only be better, amirite?
