Nice find Derracuda- welcome to the small but insane club of urq ownership. They are a PITA but somehow they are so worth it!

Your car has some great stuff on it - the Abt extension, both the intercooler and lower radiator shroud - so many cars are missing those...

I, too, really like the 20V BBS wheels on the urq. I use them for snows...

enjoy it!

Lookin good - BTW I double up the rubber exhaust hangers for the rear to avoid the crooked saggy muffler.

So how does it run? Or I should ask - how does it start?

Don't worry guys - $1500 is but the down payment in urq ownership!

So Derek - if this car has an MC in it but no water jacketed turbo - is the water nipple freeze plug just plugged. I don't see why a person would go to the trouble of putting an MC in and not use the water jacketed turbo. Are you sure its an MC? I dont' think casting numbers alone will tell you - maybe you've seen other MC evidence such as the ECU .....

US numbers are about 600, and Canada is 99.
There is a website with numbers but I can't access it right now.

Anyone know if the site is still up??

I had an interesting dinner with with four other Urq owners about a year ago. We had 5 people at our table (all urq owners), one owns an '82 urq, one owns an '83 urq, I own an '84, another owns an '85 and the last guy was passing through Denver coming from Vancouver and going home to Chattanooga in his newly acquired '86 urq (one of only 2 or three imported to NA in '86). So we had 82,83,84,85,86 represented - Pretty wild (in an urq-geek sorta way) for a car that most consider to have only been imported in '83 - '85.

'84 urq - 1 of 65

Brandon, How come Hank or I wasn't called to dinner? We could have run up in Hank's 81Urq. 8) We would have felt a bit out of place if the rest of the Urqs were as nicely sorted as yours, but it sure would have been cool having 81-86 in the parking lot. :-D

next time - we'll try to give you 2 days notice!

Not really fond of that wheel choice, but the car still looks good. :-D

:stupid:

It's your car to do with what you please- but by posting you are inviting opinions - yuck. not really a master of all these emoticons- just know this is all in good fun.
