I GOT AN URQ!!! AND ITS AN 82, phil, can you help me out here?

[Michael Williams <daserde@ucla.edu>]

Hey all....sorry for the shoutin, but im sure you can all understand why. 
:o)

Anyway, i just bought what i thought was going to be an 83 UrQ, mars red, 
with a blown engine...well, at least in need of a new head.  Anyway, i 
payed 1700 for it.  I found out that just a couple years ago, the guy put 
in a borla system from the cat back.  He just put on new konis, front and 
rear, new front brakes last year, new rear brakes just a couple months 
ago, new steering rack, (although there is a hydraulic fluid leak from 
what looks like the brake system), it needs a bit of work, like the AC 
doesnt work, but i will just delete that option, the power locks dont 
work, i dont care, and i can fix that, the diff lock switch needs 
repairs--not a big deal im going to update the entire interior anyway...

I just looked at the audi-dudi website and they claim that 285 of these 
were imported in 82.  Were all of those actually 82 models? or were they 
early 83's that were just imported in 82?  The VIN in this one places it 
as an 82 model, with a build date of 7/82, i think the chassis number was 
584 (or at least close to that).  

The fuse box is behind the drivers pocket under the dash, is there a way 
to change this to inside the engine compartment, or at least update it 
with a 4kq fuse panel?  (i have 2), to use the spade fuses?

Also, i am going to get an aftermarket boost guage, and fit the updated 
diff locking system, with the dial...

What do i do to change the boost guage in teh dash to a coolant temp 
guage?  Is that possible?

What bently can i use for this thing?  Can i use the bently for the 84-87 
stuff or is there a special one that i will need to get?  I need to get 
the one for the 5ktqs though cause im going to put an MC in there.

Where can i get wiring diagrams for this car?  I know there isnt much 
wiring in there at all...but i dunno...

I dont know what else to say right now.  I will have a chip to sell from 
this one.  The guy had one of the performance chips in there, im not sure 
which one, i will ask when i pick up the car on saturday.  So if anyone 
has any interest at all, lemme know....I also have the stock one, and the 
stock turbo too...and the stock head, but i dont think that is worth 
anythin.....

Does this qualify me as the youngest UrQ owner on the list?  20 yrs. old?

hehe...thanks in advance for all of the help...ireally should have been 
saving the past 4 years of discussion...damnit....

phil, is there any info you can give me about this car?  I dont know what 
you could say, but anythingwill be a major help here.


BTW 2bennett is going to do the installation....they will keep it under 
2000 dollars, even with a new timing belt, new lifters, new studs for the 
EM, and the installation and wiring...

I will probably have them do a new head gasket too...and maybe a bit of 
head work...



later...
