Parts or install? I bought my CA on eBay from JHot. I'm getting install done at Silvia Werks.

You should stay away from Venus, unless you can pick it up in person. I had a bad experience with them. If you seach for "venus" in the ca forum, you can read all about them.

Go with http://www.night7racing.com They do awsome work. The problems you've probably heard about with him were do to his former supplier. He does good stuff.

They have some quality issues with motorsets they ship out. They also have horrible customer service.

I'm very happy with the swap, I'd be happier if I was ever in town to drive it. I think I've put 200 miles on it since I put it in in december. It's still in break-in on the clutch and motor, so I haven't even revved it past 5500rpm, or gone over 70. :(
