V8m3! - What are the chances of that then?
Did you choose this nick name for any particular reason Sir?

As it happens I am having an V8m3 built as we speak yes
Also about 4 or 5 years ago I bought a V8m3 from the classifieds on here nicknamed 'Kylie', anything to do with you?

Sorry about the off topic excitement but you can understand it I am sure.
The M3C looks very business like, what is the spec?

That is indeed an awesome project both past and present. I automatically thought you would be useing the M5 e39 or possibly the new M3 V8 mill, didn't even consider the LS series of engines. This swap is more common in the States ( obviously ) and I have yet to even see one over here.Good on you man thumbup, what is your intended use for the finished article?

Very impressive yes, tell me, what have you done to your LS1 to realise over 500bhp?

I have a 434ci SBC built by Knight Racing that makes 650bhp so I do appreciate what goes into a motor like that although I will be using the M62 4.4ltr BMW motor in my M3 mainly because I already have it but I must say that although I like the 434 there is also something about a high revving small capacity V8 that makes my mind water.

Love the standard/sleeper look of that Lexus, must be a huge laugh to drive when people don't expect it!!
