The Build and Adventures of the ActivS5

**ActivS5** · 03-05-2014 04:34 PM

Hey everyone, thanks!

The GTR will be here in about 2 weeks, it is getting shipped over from Ft. Lauderdale.

I'll be taking my S5 to Targa Trophy, it's the German car festival, I have to take it!

Greg, I'll PM you.

Jimmy, lol it will forever be on my toolbox!

**FaceSmA5h** · 03-05-2014 04:47 PM

Chris,

Let me abuse your 5 while we're at Targa. It's the least I could do.

People have claimed dibs on the other parts except:

E-Codes
Exhaust
Coilovers

someone called dibs on your wheels???

**ActivS5** · 03-05-2014 05:04 PM

Kevin, we can swap cars haha.

Gyoonit, yes I actually have like 3 people lined up for those haha

Pics of my GTR

Up until a few months ago the entire car had a 3M clear bra, so the paint is extremely new since the car had the full clear bra since it had 1000 miles, it now has 13k miles. The car has the 2012+ carbon radio, the headliner, arm rest, A and B pillars are all done in high quality suede. The car is also equipped with a passport 9500ci radar detector system that was $2500 installed. Also has rear and front cameras.

looks mint. Great choice

**Stifens** · 03-05-2014 07:47 PM

Super nice S5! :) My jaw literally dropped when I saw the pricetag though... Because that is the exact amount I paid for my 2009 A5 2.0t quattro just two weeks ago here in Norway... I gotta move to the US.

Wow! That's pricey!!

**ActivS5** · 03-05-2014 08:03 PM

Forgot to add that I have a stratosphere intake that I will be selling off the car when the time comes too.

**ssv22** · 03-05-2014 08:41 PM

Godzilla looks great and clean! Awesome. glad you found one you wanted.

Thanks, Esteban. I'll change it up... GT-R. Funny because when I would search Craigslist and engines like that, I would do a search "Nissan GTR" and half the cars would pop up, then I would search "Nissan GT-R" and the other half of cars would pop up.

LOL ok, Jimmy. You have first dibs, it's set in stone.

**ragazzi_07** · 03-06-2014 07:58 AM

Chris did you end up trading in the S5? or private sale?

reason im asking is i heard audi won't cpo a td1 car? because of the flash...

congrats by the way can't wait for this build.

**Mops@Nemesis** · 03-06-2014 08:21 AM

Congrats, Mr. Feulner

I still remember the days of the Sahara car, with Fuelner on the front end, and some not approving lol. Ok, lets not all soft here :P Congrats on the GT-R! It will never be as sexy/refined as your S5's, but I know you can take that as a compliment. I know you have been itching for more go, and you go it. As cosmetic plans?

**Beast** · 03-06-2014 11:07 AM

Needs alpha 12 kit imo

**Brick Oven** · 03-06-2014 11:09 AM

Wow that suede headliner is classy! Slick looking new ride.

**ActivS5** · 03-06-2014 11:34 AM

Thanks guys. Many of my friends think I should have gotten a different car for the money, but their interests are more aesthetic than mine.

I have always been about the best bang for your buck. The GTR is hands down the best bang for your buck supercar out there. I just hope it treats me as well as all my Audis have.

I have some plans for the car, but want to take it slow. I get bored of cars very quickly and that was my major problem with the 13 S5 because I pretty much purchased all the mods for the car before it even began production.

Ben, LOL! Those days....but yes I have plans for the GTR. I already bought a Cobb AccessPort and the car has a couple goodies on it already. I'll most likely have it on AGs or Zito wheels.

**CasualObserver** · 03-06-2014 05:59 PM

A logical next step. Enjoy the GTR. An Audi for big boys...

**Mops@Nemesis** · 03-06-2014 06:18 PM

Damn, son… you're a big boy now. Congrats;) I look forward to seeing some pics and video. You should throw a pic/vid/build thread in the CB for fun.

**Okan509** · 03-06-2014 08:31 PM

looks super clean, congrats.

I grow a bigger fan of these cars everyday after watching a documentary on the engineering and such that went/goes into them

**DannyDeez** · 03-09-2014 09:16 PM

Sick bro. Just plain sick

**ActivS5** · 03-11-2014 08:50 AM

Thanks guys. The engineering, tunability, and watching those documentaries really got me. Parts for the GTR are much cheaper than our newer Audis. I have already bought a couple mods for it and am planning on going the E85 route.

The GTR got picked up in Florida yesterday in an enclosed trailer and is making its way to CA as we speak.

**Mops@Nemesis** · 03-11-2014 09:06 AM

Hopefully it does get too angry in there, bust out and terrorize our Cities!

**noshadow** · 03-11-2014 10:42 AM

I definitely hear a lot of people's opinions on the GT-R price not making sense, especially with all the other options out there. But I'm with you on your choice. Beautiful car.

**saxon** · 03-11-2014 06:53 PM

beautiful s5 and congrats on the gt-r!! i wish i didnt need the 4 doors or i'd be in a gtr right now :)

Thanks! There are a bunch of options out there, but the GT-R is exactly what I wanted.

Thanks! You can always do a GT-R and a cheaper 4 door daily!

That would be cool. Do eet.

**S5 Tuner** · 03-14-2014 02:06 PM

And the GTR has arrived...

**4RingRook** · 03-14-2014 02:11 PM

Lol'd @ I8TOKYO. Must do

**ActivS5** · 04-29-2014 10:51 PM

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you guys know that I sold my S5.

One of my best friends bought it with everything on it. So it worked out perfectly!

I'll still take the car to Audi events and such. I see it every week. Couldn't have asked for a better scenario!

I have been working on the GTR quite a bit lately, here is a video to enjoy :)

**Mops@Nemesis** · 04-30-2014 05:12 AM

Nice, that did work out well. Yea, that car is silly fast:)

**teky929rr** · 04-30-2014 06:10 AM

Grats Chris!

**sirmium** · 04-30-2014 08:03 AM

well done

**Steve_K** · 05-02-2014 02:16 AM

What an awesome car Chris, well done dude!

**ActivS5** · 05-02-2014 08:22 AM

Thank you everyone! The car is much different than the S5 in every way, except they sound similar TBH. The S5 is much nice aesthetically.

Here are a couple pics. I've been super busy and have only shot the car one day since I've had it.
