86 5ktq in rally cross!

[Livolsi, Stephane]

Actually the 2 qlist stickers are on the avant.  The sedan has yellow
pokemon stickers -(I have young kids, alright? :))
We will definitely put the qlist stickers on the sedan for the race -
but the pokemon stickers stay!

I would love to be able to unlock the center diff going into a corner,
and lock it to come out of the corner, then repeat at the next corner,
but the rotating switch doesn't lend itself to that very well.  Maybe we
can rig up a different switching mechanism....
Surely some listers are racing their older Q's....has anyone reworked
the diff lock switching?
