It really won't be a car for tight circuits, will it?
Enjoy the straight bits and the long sweepy stuff, because through them tight twisty bits it's gonna understeer like a cnut.
IMHO....

nice one. sounded a bit like mine when I had no silencer on, albeit with few cylinders.
don't run it for too long, more than a minute until you have water sorted.
also I reckon that rad is gonna be too small...... queue quick plug - I have a polo rad that is wider than the standard one if you are interested,
brand new, £ 25 + post.
also have a saab 9000 rad, bigger still, believed to b ok, £ 15 plus post.
guess you are gonna ask me to measure
