RE: urq modification update



Work included:

1) removed AC compressor, condenser, lines

	Did you notice quicker steering. Mine handled much better after
doing this.  i also moved Batt to trunk at same time but losing 150 lbs
combined from the front end and thus making Weight Distribution more
rear-biases made for a car that was more Neutral Handling (Read Less
Understeer) and on the track can be steered with the throttle in a corner
just like you Taught me.  I can even rotate it on the Auto-X course now if
it is a tight turn.  Come in on brakes late, turn in and go steady state,
then if thats not enough lift and you are now pointing the right
direction.  Love it.  Just hate it when I brake TOO late.  :)
	
2) removed aux. radiator and hose; plug off now unused outlets in radiator

	WHy, less weight.  Are you not worried about heat since you have
no AC condenser in front of Radiator to block air flow.

3) lower temperature thermostat

	Again.  Why.  Opens at a lower temp.  Are you just trying to keep
it wide open when the temps are up?  I think my cars Therostat is too cold
but it is not Turbocharged.

4) swap out K26 air cooled turbo for k24 water cooled turbo with
associated
hardware
5) new voltage regulator in alternator
6) Redline fluids in trans/diff. and rear diff.                                

	Yea!   Can I have a Ride at PIR?  Cant wait!  L8R
