Nice one Steve!
Don't think the NOS will be on by then actually so just 8v T vs 16v T 
Unfortunetely the Corsa is just a little bit heavier than the Nova  And won't have the Traction / Launch control setup and huge drag slicks. So as long as im in the 13's i'll be happy.

Looking good, colour coded handles and boot lock would look better, would ruin that standard look though!

UPDATE.....
HAd a week off this week so tackled a few of the last jobs that were outstanding
firstly got my tophat, clips and smaco joiners through so set to work sorting them out,
before backing bar cut
Mounted and cut out backing bar to allow better air flow
tophat was about a million miles from fitting so gave up on it and rang regal and ordered one of there 60mm ones for now as i wanna get this runing this week if poss,
fitted sard reg was abargain at £45 and in a nice gold colour
then set to work on the epas pump
manage to make some pipes up from the standard pipework with some clever modding and bending
also made a nice braket with some more bending and welding
is very sturdy now and looks great
piped in the boost and airfuel ratio gauges
these two are next just waiting for custom pod to be made buy dad, will be fitted tomorow watch this space
turbo cover chopped to fit
car as it stands
bay as it stands
sorry for poor pic quality camera playing up

looks good mate, same intercooler as what i have on my ka turbo, wheels look spot on
top work
hope you sort the sparking issue out? maybe the coil isnt get a perminant 12v supply when engine is being cranked?
i know for my ka turbo to run i took a 12 volt supply from fuse box in my ka, that kept 12volts when the starter engages etc
