I was was searching for CV's & U-joints to rebuild my drive shaft and came across a company (Driveshaft Store) in California that builds new drive shafts for the Audi GT/ UR. I decided to order the drive shaft and when it arrived, I immediately cut the center support off to install the 2 piece JXB performance center bearing mount. There is a day and night difference between the stock rubber mount and the JBX. The JBX mount is solid with very little movement. Drive shaft installed perfectly....very happy to check this off the list.

TIRE SIZE........UGH!!!
After quite a bit of searching the old internet and asking others what they suggest, I chose a Falcon RT660 245/40-17....its an aggressive tire and is a starting point.
Now mounted and mocked up, I am very happy. I am running a 25mm spacer on the front and a 35mm on the rear, this clears the big calipers. There will be some trimming of the fenders to match the Group A flares, but while at full drop on jacks, the fronts clear easily on full side to side turn.

Made up fittings and hoses for the oil feed and return line for the turbo. Also, made mount for oil cooler, just waiting on some fittings to make up the -10 lines.

Very neat. Looks like it just came from the factory

Traveling through Japan and went to the Toyota Museum in Nagoya and came across this amazing 1981 Audi URQ….who would have thought of seeing this in Japan, in a Toyota Museum…. a bonus to a great trip

Nice project, lot's of attention to detail and a bit different which I'm always a fan of.

That 1980 UR is splendid, must be one of the very first production run or at least close, as you say not what one expect in Japan.

Came back from trip to some parts.
Made up oil cooler lines and mounted air cleaner.
I used a 90 degree special designed intake hose from A&A Corvette that is used as part of the Vortex Supercharger kit. The elbow allows for a perfect fit to the turbo and the K&N air filter is in a great location. The filter will get the outerwears pre-filter.

That looks fabulous but with all the rain we get in the UK the filter location would give me sleepless nights

The pre-filter cover made by outerwears is treated with an hydrophobic water-repellent and has a proprietary polyester mesh with uniform micron openings. I have been using the pre-filters for years on our sand car intakes that are exposed to the elements with zero issues. I plan on driving the car in any weather conditions....

I didn't mean that. I meant if you drive through deep water it will suck water up into your engine and kill it. We get those sorts of floods all the time here.

I will re-phrase my statement of my Urq being a daily driver.......if I see water like that in the video, I will be driving my other daily...F250 Tremor

Finished making the fuel lines and mount for the fuel flex sensor and boost controller. Fuel system is now complete and checked off the list.
