The Build and Adventures of the ActivS5

[Anthony]

Curious to see what it will do in the quarter mile. I definitely want to get it out at Sonoma soon. The whine is very prominent, everything is just muffled because of the GoPro backing

Hey, let me know if you do. I've been wanting to take one of the cars to the strip.

Want to go on the 22nd? Beers at my place after. I live 10 min from Sac Raceway

I'm already booked up that week, then it's Wuste for Vegas shortly after. How about it June? Also, I thought you said Sonoma, not Sac...

[ActivS5]

I was talking about road racing at Sonoma, not sure what their availability is like for the strip. Sac Raceway has $15 Wednesday nights, unlimited passes. I'll look into Sonoma's strip though. I'm down to make the drive.

They do the Wednesday night drags at Sonoma too, just not sure on the price.

[ActivS5]

Looks like $25 competitors, $15 for students, $10 spectators. Not bad, lets do it. I wonder how crowded it gets

[Anthony]

Guess we'll just have to go and find out. I'd be down for coming out to Sac as well. Do runs at each. I just need my schedule to clear up...

[ActivS5]

Cool, we'll figure it out later.

I'm flexible in June.

[TitanG545]

Yes, the Revo/Stasis tune. The power is much more noticeable at higher revs, as you can tell from the dyno graph, the power difference from 5500+ RPM is where the tune really shines. It's hard to describe what power feels like in words, but it is considerably quicker than stock.





LOL Ben dropping the funnies

Any reason why you didn't go with the APR stage II kit instead of this setup? Comparing numbers on the graphs and trying to decide.

[NYSpeedRacer]

I'll be there during the 3rd week of July starting on the 22nd until the 30th. I'll be working at the Sonoma drag stripe for the NHRA race from 26-28 but free in the early evening.

Because of Stasis's warranty. I'd rather play it a little more conservative and have a safety net just in case anything goes wrong.

Cool. We'll figure it out when July rolls around. Have a safe remainder of your trip.

A couple hundred miles since my last wash. Here are what my wheels look like with the akebono pads. I made a finger mark on the second picture to show the amount of dust on the wheel. Not much!

[Mops@Nemesis]

Very cool! Now wash your barrels. You should have Rene make some custom Activ centers. #taxwriteoff

They need to make the same pads for BBK calipers! I need to clean mine every other day! Especially with polished lips...

That would be awesome! The barrels got some love last time I washed the car, but it wasn't thorough. I need to remove the wheels and do it the Mopsta way.

They really do. Cleaning wheels is a pain, and you go through towels like crazy!

[Got No Game]

Wow, that's a pretty huge improvement Chris. I feel like I spend half my life cleaning brake dust! I think I may need to look into the Akebonos, but since I have so few miles on my current ones, maybe I'll wait for a least a little wear on the pads.

BTW, I feel for you on the whole train wreck that happened with the other thread. I totally saw what you were trying to accomplish before the trolls took over. Sad.

[esotericlife]

On order can't wait!

[JOS4AUDI]

Still looking perfect Chris. I need those pads for the A6 the dust is killing me. That's a huge difference.
I will be in Nor Cal in June to visit the in laws. I was talking to Anthony would be awesome to set up a track day?

You should order them now, you won't regret it!

Trolls will be trolls, oh well

Nice! Hello clean wheels all the time!

Yes, lets do it. Let me know a couple weeks before you're coming into town and we'll make it happen.

[YelloJello]

Just curious, are you planning on running seafoam on a regular basis on the B8.5? Was it worth it or notice it working on the previous car?

Didn't even cross my mind yet actually haha, I'll run it through though just for peace of mind. Can't hurt. The carbon cleaning on the last car was night and day. I didn't feel anything with the seafoam treatments

[ActivS5]

At the track right now, just ran a 12.673 @ 108.162 mph, my first time doing the quarter mile, hoping to get 12.5 by the end of the night. The left lane on the slip is a Camaro ZL1, I'm on the right lane.

[Anthony]

Damn, son!

[Mops@Nemesis]

Haha, awesome!!

[infinkc]

Awesome time for 91oct, wish I could have made it out.

[ActivS5]

It was a lot of fun!

Kris, next time! Anthony, we'll have to set up a date for Sonoma.

[ActivS5]

Best time from tonight was 12.637 @ 107.941, 91 octane, it was about 70 degrees out.

[Wah]

Good stuff Chris.

Remind me what stock S5s are running? 13.1 at about the same trap speed?

[ActivS5]

Good stuff Chris.

Thanks. Ya about 13.0-1, not sure about the trap speed. I'll post a video here in about 30 min

[ssv22]

Nice run! Hopefully i can make it next time!

[ActivS5]

Ya, there will be other times!

[ActivS5]

Here are two of my best runs

[Yinger]

Nice times!

[kidentist]

LOVE to see the Camaro on the side mirror!!!

[ActivS5]

Thanks! Haha ya funny to see the Camaro in the side mirror. I think that was the ZL1 too!

[TheDapperDriver]

Awesome!

[JimWB]

Thanks! Haha ya funny to see the Camaro in the side mirror. I think that was the ZL1 too!

Bet he went home and typed in audi.com

[ActivS5]

Haha the owner was a very nice guy. Surprisingly, the ZL1 is very heavy.

Why is that a surprise?
