Wheelpower. It is the original Hamann splitter. Was bragging to me about it all Saturday night. Couldn't get him to shut up about it.

It's the first one in North America, I was going to post new pics of it in a few days after I get my M5 mirrors re-installed today
I'll keep you updated. If you need info about the splitter PM me, I can work something out for you. I think since we have the same car pretty much, you should just throw it on there. haha
cheers

What about me? What about me? 
You were just lucky to have a good first run. That will be your best run. Every time from now will be a slower time. hahahaha

ECF, that is an original Hamann splitter for the M-tech kit.

Hollywood, PM me with the price if you can. I was leaning towards the Hartge style splitter but I could be pursuaded to change my mind. Another forum member here, Freed0m bought the custom made one from pnemeke and his car is pretty much exactly like mine except he has silver R10s.

Aright sounds good.
Hey quick question. If I throw it in auto mode, will it shift right before redline? I was thinking, what if I started off without AA, but somewhere around 4-5K I dump the throttle all the way down to the switch, you think that will activate the auto-shift?
I guess I can just give it a try.

Oh the IS suspension is soft. I'm sure it has more pitch under acceleration. You think that affected the run times? Is there a way to calibrate it? or is the "2" a built in factor?
Grogan any ideas? Znod? Where is Znod? Vacation?
