It doesnt seem hard to change a motor, but it is better to use guys who have done it before. You dont wana do it yourself, fuck it up and then end up having to get them to do it anyway and spend heaps more $ in the process.
All i can say is do it right the first time. |

rotor conversions are not hard, but why bother with a 12a, unless it is a turbo or you are planning on some serious porting, a 12a is not really that much more powerfull than a 1600, youll just get the unreliability and annoying noise of rotor.
thats just my opinion though, Simmo |
