Welcome to the B6 Wiki!

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.

Are there any advantages, or a difference with running the 67mm driveshafts with the plastic hubs vs the 65mm?

Also thinking that the B6 ball diff won't likely transfer over to the B6.1 due to what appears to be a complete redesign of the tranny.

Plus, the B6.1 comes with f/r anti-roll bars...B6.1D doesn't.

I think they would benefit by keeping this thread. If you look at the YZ2 and XB2 forums, they don't have separate forums for the 2016, 2017, and 2018 versions. The B6.1 series is essentially an update just like the other brands are doing. This would cut down on confusion and give people one place for all you B6 series related questions and suggestions. Just my two cents.

Anyone know if the final drive ratio is the same from B6 to B6.1?

1/4milecrazy you come on here calling people names and degrading them all because they have an opinion, or ideas different than yours, which I guess is typical of today's society. I did not put what I do for a living on here wanting or needing your approval or trying to impress you or anyone else, it was to make a point which you evidently missed. I do not want to get into a pissing contest with you or anyone else on here as it is meant as an outlet for a hobby we all enjoy, and have fun doing, no matter what different views or ides people may have.
I welcome ALL different ideas and THAT is what my post is about in the first place. That AE gives us a basic car and lets us buy the parts we need/want and not give us a car that has a bunch of crap that is popular on one coast more than the other.
Like everyone complaining about a fan mount location. How many people run this car in mod and dont run fans? Why should AE design a car around one class? It gets old. Having been around the hobby I would think you have seen the trend of crying over the the old car not being good enough but the new car not being exactly what THEY want. I see people still complaining about there not being a rear motor option. It just gets old after a while. And then you throw in your life experience at me and then say you weren't trying to impress anyone. This is not a pissing contest. I made a comment and you attacked me over it. At least that's how I saw it.
