ok as i realised having a 1.2 sxi slows things down
dont limit it as you loose poo loads of speed like rob said just under 6000rpm is best just before you hit limiter
also give my 1bhp tip ago u might be suprised

just under 6000rpm
anything over the sxi tells you to fuck off and doesnt move
great little engines them

You dont want to me be ragging the fuck out of your 1.2, not like its quick anyway. Drive carefully, care for it, sell it on in good cond and buy something which will actually go some.

c20xe ECU doesnt rev to 7500, sure its 7200 standard. May depend on car/model the c20xe was in though i suppose 
Sure mine was 7200 (cav GSi 2000)

i thought the C20XE was 7000 dead?? C/X16XE is 6750. 1.2 16v will be 6250, the same as the 8v models. X14XE is 6500
