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.

I must have been blind...or an ad was covering the shocks portion.
And I went back forever pages looking for that info
I'll shut up and go finish my build now.
Oh, I won't be editing the wiki- I'd hate to mess with the great work y'all have done

I am curious are racers building the B6d stock out of the box first and running it that way or are racers going straight to the laydown trans, laydown trans and long shock tower in the rear , and where are they mounting the rear shocks.
I was thinking to go straight to the letdown trans , go long shock tower, and mount the shocks behind the rear arm to start? thoughts? comment? opinions?

Had the B6D out for the first time tonight great car. We have a medium grip track that sometimes can be on the higher medium grip. Thought I would try the laydown transmission first.
Don't know that I will ever use the stand up it drives so good. I got the AE titanium screw kit. I used them on my B5 really liked them. Not too happy with the B6 titanium screws. they seem too soft and a couple had the head strip really easy. I did pre thread the holes before using them and have good drivers.

So drove the car for the first time last night, built the car box stock with the exceptions of the alum upgrades and brass c mount. The car is very easy to drive has great traction but for me it lacked a bit of steering. Didn't want to make any changes as I was still getting used to the car. Our track is a bumpy low traction track so was impressed how easy it was to drive. I also have 22 3.0 with same motor that I have been working on the setup for some time now. In the first round I ran the 3.0 finished with a 16 5.10 with fast lap 18.8 2nd round went out with the b6 and did a 16 5.10 with a 18.4. Made 1 mistake which cost me tq. Very happy so far just need to work on getting a bit of steering into the car. Just some input for any guys that are debating which car to get.

The plastic feels good to me, feels like higher quality than the b5m was. Only done with like 8 bags though so far
