Blew the head gasket on my 1.2 8v 
Well, the water jacket part methinks, no water in the oil yet, just no water in the tank and this:

Clutch is pretty bitched too, so im going to get hold of a 1.4 8v spi, stick my GSI cam in it, new clutch, then fire that in.

Cant afford a 1600, just a 1400 spi, slightly faster than the 1.2, then sell it.

Not so good
I would say get a 1.4 mpi or a 1.6 16v but your maybe the same as me. Cant be botherd wioth the hassle and would rather just sell it and buy one? Getting a 1.4 8v spi will mean straight swap and less hassle
