Quattro 100% mech locking and Torsen diffs are not maint free?

Please add all moderately-tweeked ur-qs to the above list. My 84 4KQ in SCCA Solo II HS legal trim was _just barely_ beaten by a 325iX Dinan Turbo with massive tahrs & wheels & suspension upgrades running in Mod. (I was in Mod as well due to the R1 tires I was running - non SCCA local club rules [SCCNH] - even though the 4KQ was SCCA HS legal)
