Welcome to the B6 Wiki!
Quick links to all the sections on the first page! Frequently asked questions - the most common questions you may have answered here! Aftermarket Parts - parts for the B6 and B6D Tech Tutorials- tuning guides, ball diff and shock building videos and tutorials How to's and build-specific posts Team Associated Laydown transmission conversion for B6D: Laydown conversion Instruction Manuals: B6: B6 Manual and setup sheets B6D: B6D Manual and setup sheets How to Sand and Seal carbon fiber: Sanding and sealing carbon fiber Sanding and sealing carbon fiber 2 Sanding and sealing carbon fiber 3 Sanding and sealing carbon fiber 4 Charts for Quick reference:         1) put inner bearing in hub 2) slide large shim over axle all the way up to the back of the axle 3) slide axle/bone into hub carrier 4) slide small shim onto axle through hub carrier 5) push outter bearing into hub carrier using that i'm able to put my normal male silverback gorilla wheel nut tightening job and there's no binding. in the pictures that come with the shims (the pic socket posted) it seems like they want you to slide both shims onto the axle before sliding the axle into the hub carrier and like i said, that doesn't work.  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.

Didn't see this can you use a shorty pack in the b6. I didn't read where you can or can't use it just want to make sure..

I received my B6 a few days ago and did most of the build last night, I have noticed loads of mistakes in the manual! I also had some bags with the wrong size screws in!
Love the car though can't wait to finish it and run it Tuesday, I have been running a Centro C4.2 and I'm hoping to notice an improvement with the B6

I'm trying to prioritize my list of upgrades/aftermarket parts that I want for my B6D. Can't afford them all at once. I'm running stock on a mid to high traction track. I've got the titanium screw kit from AE at the top of my list because i can't figure any circumstance in which i wouldn't want a lower center of gravity. I looked at all the aftermarket parts Buddha posted in the beginning of the thread. Is there another part i might benefit more from in the beginning?

Thanks for the input y'all. I had the MIP pucks high on my list. Combine those with the the MIP bi-metal diff and it sounds like you could cut the rotating mass way down. I'll probably put those two at the top of my list now. Could one of you post a link to the aluminum D Mount you're referring to?

Aluminum parts
Other than the shocks and motor platedoes the car come with any aluminum goodies, or is everything plastic?
