[urq] Motivating Audi to produce Parts

[AUDIJIM at aol.com]

I think it was Martin who said (please correct me if I'm wrong) that  
UrQuattro owners fall into two groups, the purists and the modifiers. and I'll  throw 
in a third group as a little mix of both purist and modifier. That said  
along with the other concerns we have for the lack of factory produced parts,  has 
anyone made a list of UrQuattro specific parts that are NLA? Besides the  
ball joints and upper strut mounts and sun visor clips (the first things that  
pop into my head) Is anyone here up to getting one together and having it  
accessible through Audifans? I'd like to see a full list of the parts we can not  
get from Audi. I'd also like to see a list of alternate parts that are either  
"bolt on replacement" or "slightly modify to make it work" parts. With any 
luck,  I'd like to start driving my UrQ #170 by the middle of this summer. on a 
regular  basis. I'm toying with the idea of selling my S4 and all my AAN stuff 
and using  my UrQ as a summer/winter car and getting a 911 for the summer/nice 
days. If I'm  serious enough about this, I'll need the UrQ to be as reliable 
as possible.  Which leads us back to getting parts for these German toys.
 
Just a thought,
 
Jim
