Wow sign me up for a test drive! 

Sound as good as I imagine it would be considering the engine, trans, car weight and balance etc, how could it go wrong!  

Especially cool as it looks like a nice, yet unsuspecting mums car, a sleeper is always a fun toy.

Great write up Josh on a great little car. The amount of work Ray and his team have put into this build is incredible.

118 - 1235 kg unladen. N46 & Trans 179kg

M3 - 1600 kg unladen. S65 & DCT 243 kg

Overall aprox. 200kg lighter

With tune and cat delete/lightweight exhaust should be aprox. 440hp

Next dyno day will give us some figures. 

Sidenote: DCT will give at least a car length gain on a Manual with each gear change.

Yours is DCT, more fancy!

No doubt they are both good. Great modern conversion.
