depends which 1.8
if its a X18XE, it'll need a conversion kit, so you might as well go for a 2 litre
if its a Z18XE, then it will fit on 1.6 mounts, but you wont be able to wire it up without lots of money and effort
best option is to stick to either a 1.6, or a 2 litre
1.6 is good for silly power anyway
2 litre is fairly decent standard

X16XE would be about 350 quid, then you'll need a few bits from vauxhall
about £400 should cover engine and bits

you were paying 1745 for a third party insurance on a 1 litre????!?!!??! mine was only 1100 a year for my old 1.2 16v. and its only 1250 now with a 1.4. cant wait to get my full years no claims
