Hey Guys-
I just read on the Audi Site www.audiusa.com that Quattro Gmbh will, in 
association with MTM be "remanufacturing" the urquattro.  They will take an 
original quattro in from a customer and refurbish it over a period of 6 
months for ~US$20,000 with new paint, carpet and upholstery, as well as a 
leather covered dash with unique Urq plaque where the quattro badge is on 
later dashes.  The bottom will be re-coated as well.  Upgrades will include 
lighter, more modern suspension components including better, lighter brakes, 
engine management including fuel injection, HID lighting with an all new 
complete wiring harness with all models getting a modern fusebox.  They will 
take the 20 years of learned turbo technology to upgrade the car with more 
modern intake plumbing via minor re-arangement of some under-hood systems, 
including some deleted items, such as injector cooling fan, that will no 
longer be needed, more modern turbo and a better intercooler with proper 
ducting.  Customers will have the choice of keeping the locking differential 
or converting to current technology.  Customers can expect some modern 
touches like one touch up/down windows, and more efficient heat a/c systems. 
  They say the current technolgies will improve power to 285 bhp at 5500 
rpma and 310 torque at 3300 rpm, while getting mileage of 22/29 (city/hwy), 
some of which is attributed to the car weighing 200 lbs less!!  Oh one last 
thing april fools.  Have a great day!

Brandon
'84 urq (for the most part) and loving it that way
