Are you jealous?
X16XE in the Nova you can get to the back of the engine and remove the IACV and EGR without having to remove half the engine like in the Corsa.

i dont see anything wrong with my comment, it is not hard to knock up a quick list of the spec and will look far better than some scribble on a bit of paper

I was meaning to ask how your car is going? Still running the turbo, Mantzel etc?
People never really got to see it, I think only me and Daimo have seen it properly and its awesome.

Surprised he hasn't got a front strutbrace for handling purposes but I dare say he's got it configured very well.
Smart looking car that and the engine bay looks lovely

Nice big figure yes, but im guessing your mates nova saloon runs a LET, which is a far cry from a normally aspirated small block engine 
that nova must be mental to drive!

you didnt mention you had sorted the suspension. The Corsa and Tigra are essentially the same, since they both share the same floorpan/geometry.
