Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Did anyone watch the fast n loud 996 V8 Conversion on Discovery last night??
I quite liked the bolt on flares and wheels, however the engine swap? NO. :sad:
I thought it was a quite interesting swap
the Ls3 is all ally so light, but would the COG change ??
I'd like to have a drive of one.
the bodykit was from japan and mega pricey
In many ways it makes perfect sense to fit the LS3 to a 996. One thing I'm trying to determine is whether the resultant car still feels like a 911.
The LS3 may be slightly lighter than the flat six, and the engine itself may have a lower COG, but the V8 sits higher in the chassis.
An unburstable 480bhp straight out the box is tempting but I think I would still go for a Hartech 3.7 build for roughly the same money.
Early designs for the 996 were a V8. And while the cylinders are slightly higher, the other peripherals sit lower. I'm not sure it'd make that much difference overall.
Not for the purists but an interesting option for those of us less religious types.
I really like the idea in a MK 1 Cayman though that's tossed it's engine. That'd be one hell of a machine. Especially given how in real world driving a leggy Boxster already is :thumbs:
It's a definite no from me. That episode reminded of that cracking documentary about Ladyboys a few years back.

Btw if you're ever in doubt whether someone is a Ladyboys or lady. Ask them to straighten their arm. A man's arm locks out at 180°, a woman's arm can go past 180°. So if you're on your in Thailand on tour and you want to check early on, there you go. It's the only thing they can't change surgically. All the rest can be sorted through medication and surgery.
And yes you did just straighten your arm out didn't you? Now go and ask the :thewife: to do the same. :floor: :floor: :floor:
I guess you have not seen Hoovies garage on YouTube? Far more entertaining and informative: he did an ls swop when he popped his 996 engine. A hartech big bore rebuild will be cheaper but nowhere near as powerful
