Battery relocation a success!
I've seen it done with some of the more modded S4's in the past to better balance the car, but I've finally gotten around to putting the battery in the trunk as well. Just on of the steps to set up the A4 for Auto-X/Track.
Here's how CatcusS4 did his using a lightweight Odyssey battery.

I ran an OEM BMW battery cable (Since their battery's are in the trunk from the factory) and ran it from the driver's side rear (where the cd changer cage is located) along the left cable run into the ECU box and through the engine wiring harness. This way it's completely stock looking and hidden.
I was able to mount the Audi battery tray in the trunk perfectly, only drilling new holes in it for the existing bolts that held the cage in. I'll see later this week if I can remount the CD changer (should be able to easily) along with putting an inline kill switch where the battery used to be. Also going to put the electromagnetic battery disconnect (for storage/transport/theft/etc.) once I get one of the techs to show me how they are suppossed to work. BMW gave me about 5 of them, but none seem to respond. Minor stuff.
Cheers,
R.

yeah, maybe i'll do that this afternoon
the server says it has no problem getting ports 29504-29509 to the router, but there is an error with port 21.
I can connect from behind the router, but no one from the outside can. I'll try using my roommate's D-Link instead.
Then I'll try a reset of the linksys. I'll make an account for you once i finally get this all up and running

but if I don't have any money by the time thanksgiving comes around I'm going to go to your beloved car and either ****ing steal **** off of it or key the **** out of it.
i know where you live and how to **** up audi's.
pay up b/c this your credit as a friend is running thin....
i don't think you'd appreciate it if i did this kind of **** with you.
ps - i'm expecting half of what you owe me and parker's bit by thanksgiving.
pps - i'm not kidding about ****ing up your ****. that seems to be the only way to get your *** into gear.
