my engine has 103k on the clock, how much longer are you likely to get out of it?
there are a few options depending, on how long + how much money i have:-
kit it at christmas, next year get a 1.4/6 sport put kit on this and sell as standard.
sell it with kit on, get a car already kitted.
fitting a new 1.2 engine (i duno but i rekon this will be expensive, so therefor pointless)
I'm planning on keeping the car a 1/2 years. But with high milage, im not deffo sure.
Thanks

Thats not really that high mileage if its been looked after.
If your car is fairly standard then there isn't much point in doing a 1.4/1.6 engine swap, just sell your car and buy a gsi/sri/sport.
