So tempting but I really need to fix the broken things before I start getting performance/bling stuff.

I can't wait to fix the speedo so I can see how fast it actually goes because I'm pretty sure I had it up into the 80s on flat road today. I did over 100 miles of freeway driving and not once did I feel I couldn't keep up with or pass modern traffic as other people seem to have been saying about these.

The 1600s are just fine, plenty of new shopping hatches have a worse power to weight ratio. 80mph for a healthy one is no bother, if a bit noisy. My 1600 bus will just about get there if the wind is in its favour.
