My new '83 TQC

[LEEJ07A@prodigy.com (MS LORI K SCHNEIDER)]

Hi guys,

I hadn’t intended to de-lurk quite so soon but I bought a car 
yesterday and I have a lot of questions about it.  I was looking for 
an early ‘90’s Audi 90 quattro to replace my ‘88 90Q.  Then I found 
an ‘83 turbo quattro coupe and bought it yesterday.  It is Mars red 
with chocolate leather, has 78,000 miles, very clean, very quick and 
I am just delighted!  I know these cars are rare and desirable and I 
want to learn as much about my car as I can.  I did get an owner’s 
manual, but I am looking for more information, such as:

Were fog lights available as an option, if so what are the correct 
fog lights and is there a source for them?
If factory fog lights were not offered, then what has typically been 
used on these cars as an after market add-on?
I would like to find a sales brochure for 1983, would anyone have one 
available to sell or be willing to copy one for me?
Is there a definitive book on Audi (something like the Buyers Guide 
series) that would describe year by year features, technical 
specifications, options, caveats, etc.?  I have looked in vain since 
I bought my 90Q four years ago. . .
I gather that the quattro system has undergone improvements over the 
years.  Can anyone describe to me the evolution of quattro technology?
  Should I expect any handling differences in my new ‘83?  (I don’t 
want to be rudely surprised the first time I drive this car on an icy 
road.)
I have lots more questions but will stop now before this gets any 
longer.  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me!
