Oh boy you guys! It's like Christmas all over again! Look what Santa brought me!




I ended up delaying the motor pull by a week. Hoping to start it this weekend. All I need now are JHM cam adjusters and the timing tools.

I love days like these. Looks like a nice spread of parts!


How much does that battery weight? All I could find was 11kg, and wondering how accurate that is. I too cannot believe how much JHM sells the relocation kit for, everything else of theirs is spot on because of the R&D but the cables are cables, any DIYer can source the parts easily.

Nice work so far by the way.

Thanks! Yeah it took me like 50 minutes to unpack it all lol.

As for the battery, It's around 25lbs, maybe a tad more. It's listed on Optima's site to be like 26.something lbs. I actually wrote up a DIY on another Audi site here where I did a cost breakdown with links on where to order stuff. It comes out to be a lot cheaper than the JHM kit so I'm really happy with how I did it

I can't wait to get started on this big project. My engine should be running tip top afterwards

Santa must love you. I've done something wrong apparently.

I also did pay Santa a lot of money
