[urq] ACNA support for urq owners--PLEASE READ

[David Schaible]

thanks for the update Bill, & i agree with you brady, but time for someone 
to step up like bill said if this is going any further.   i'm thinking we 
should have a site at the knowledge base for unavailable parts to be 
listed, or overpriced or whatever.  i think we need the guys like billy 
bennett, scott j, keith a. etc who wrench all the time on these cars to 
help out with parts issues (if they truly exist) to get the ball rolling 
again.  i will start to compile a list if anyone wants to forward info 
.....my two cent

fyi,  oil cooler available thru stealer only $450 !,  used at shokan $285, 
available used from my friend $150

(still an expensive bump i hit.....)
