i'm sure the std rev limiter and gearing will allow 117 (std wheels etc) or that might be on the F13....
Do the later x16xe's have 13's or 15's??? I swapped out my f13 for an early f15cr with longer final drive in my corsa..... it showed 130 on the clocks (but wasnt on std wheels etc, so wasnt accurate)

no.......... corsa's in general are just gash unless they have a 2.0 upwards under the hood.
