why bother? the ibiza gti comes with the same engine,and can be bought for peanuts.
insuring a 1.4/gti engine car will cost as much as buying a gti ,if not more,depending on your age.(i'm guessiing you're young)

OK.....

So, a mk3 golf gti was fitted with a 2.0 8v engine. i think its a poor engine, with an even poorer gearbox. However, it would fit no problems and be a straight swap. It was put into mk2 ibiza's which are nearly exactly the same to mk3 ibiza's.

But then you could just buy a mk2? Or buy a mk2 with a 2.0 16v? Or buy a mk3 with a 1.8t?

don't bother mate.insurance will say "no chance" i imagine you're already into the thousands for car inursance as it is.
i'd wait and get some NCB in the bank and then just buy a faster car.

Yeah at 17 you aren't going to insure anything above 1.4 without some serious money.
