Installing my coils. Literally drove straight home from Les Schwab after getting the wheels mounted and balanced and installed my coilovers.

Some big changes

I don't have photos of the car without e-codes for some reason.

Very very nice! Congrats. Cant wait to see the rest! The ecodes and this color looks fantastic.

can't wait to see this building up chris...

**3tk8** · 03-02-2013 09:50 AM

Like the shot of the car with the yellow sign that says "HOT". How appropriate! Nice car. Congrats!

**tboooe** · 03-02-2013 09:58 AM

Get those wheels and coilovers on already!!!!!!! Oh yeah, nice color.

Looking forward to all the cool photos and rolling shots that will undoubtedly be posted soon. Makes me jealous. Wish I had the skills to take good shots of my car.

**DannyDeez** · 03-02-2013 10:07 AM

Awesome man! Looks great!!

**ActivS5** · 03-02-2013 10:08 AM

Thanks guys, I should be able to get the coils and wheels on next week. The tires come in on Monday. I may do the coils tonight, not sure yet.

**Guitarmageddon** · 03-02-2013 10:18 AM

First thing Id do would be get a clear bra while that paint is still pristine.

**Brick Oven** · 03-02-2013 10:28 AM

Lookin good! Love the lunar alcantara. Can't wait to see it in the flesh.

**Mops@Nemesis** · 03-02-2013 12:09 PM

Deeeeeeeeeeeez nuts:)

Thats a real bummer, Chris. Sowwy.

**TheDapperDriver** · 03-02-2013 12:45 PM

congrats chris she is a beauty

**NvrFollow25** · 03-02-2013 01:05 PM

Super nice. Were you as nervousness as I was when they drove it off the truck? I didn't realize they drove that fast up there.

**JoeBlack** · 03-02-2013 01:12 PM

Great looking car!! I love the interior that's a great colour combo!!

**DannyDeez** · 03-02-2013 01:29 PM

lmfao

**ActivS5** · 03-02-2013 01:40 PM

I saw him unload all the other cars the same way and mine was the last one. Think about how they loaded them, they had to reverse all the way up there :o

Just picked these up at the dealer

Audi drive on the river this morning

I agree! And those supercharged badges are going to look good on that color as well

**ActivS5** · 03-02-2013 05:43 PM

Tires will be here soon! I think by the end of next week, the car will be in it's natural form

***Anthony*** · 03-02-2013 06:02 PM

Yeah, buddy!

I was going to ask on Instagram if it was Daytona. Great choice!

Nice to see the mods have already begun. Them e-codes are so damn clean.

Have you already spilled the beans on which wheels you're going with?

**Mops@Nemesis** · 03-02-2013 06:10 PM

^Take a guess;) The same set has just been mounted on a PB C7 in Cali.

**ActivS5** · 03-02-2013 06:11 PM

Hey Anthony,

Thanks! I went with the Avant Garde M510 in 20x10 et20

LOL Mop

***Anthony*** · 03-02-2013 06:45 PM

Well shit, guess I should have looked closer at your avatar!

Good thing my heart is no longer set on those wheels...well, that exact AG model anyway.

**Mops@Nemesis** · 03-02-2013 06:55 PM

Anthony, your inbox is full, FYI.

**MJM** · 03-02-2013 07:23 PM

Great looking car!

**FamousLastWords** · 03-03-2013 10:08 AM

Gorgeous package all together. Those e-codes... mmmm. I love that it was an instant-mod.

**ActivS5** · 03-03-2013 10:11 AM

Thanks guys, hopefully I'll be able to drop the car and mount the wheels on Tuesday

**Beast** · 03-03-2013 10:26 AM

can't wait to see, I wish I knew how to install coils!

**buiyahkah** · 03-03-2013 11:30 AM

Awesome! Congrats

**Audacious** · 03-03-2013 12:17 PM

beautiful color, ecodes do wonders. subbed for more.

**n0s** · 03-03-2013 12:31 PM

What made you choose that intake? There are too many to chose from.

**ActivS5** · 03-03-2013 02:42 PM

Thanks guys!

I chose the intake because of the sound and price point. The supercharger whine is very noticeable with this intake.

There was a group buy for this intake a couple weeks ago too.

**ActivS5** · 03-03-2013 02:43 PM

Will Stasis release their tune for the B8.5 already!?

These tuners are killing me. We have one company with a pulley but no B8.5 tune, and another company with a B8.5 tune but no pulley

And then theres Stasis with a warranty but no tune lol

Right?! I don't feel comfortable jumping on a tune without a warranty when the car is so new. I assume you feel the same?

Maybe down the line when the warranty is almost up. I don't think Stasis will come out with a pulley upgrade. They didn't with the B8 3.0T.

Not sure if I'll get bored of stage 1 if Stasis plans to call it quits at that...

Im actually really confused. You would think this was a life or death decision the way I keep going back and forth with it lol.
I do feel the same way, im not sure I want to throw my warranty away. On the other hand, a tune with pulley just seems so tempting. But then I think, is the extra few hp/tq from a pulley worth it? Then I also tell myself that its a brand new car and I shouldnt need to use the warranty. See my dilemma? haha

HAHA damn! That's one pickle!

I've driven a B8 S4 with a stage 2 tune and pulley, and my goodness it's quick. Never driven a stage 1 3.0T before though.

The pulley adds about 25-30 WHP over stage 1 if I'm not mistaken?
