[Edited on 20-12-2005 by Cruising Corsa] they are inaccurate.... only use it as a guide

	Yes it has a limiter. Rev it flat out in neutral, you will hear it* :P *not adviseable to do, especially on a cold engine
Nic Barnes	posted on 19th Dec 05 at 17:36
	older cars without an ecu had no limiters

	My mate says that my Corsa B 1.2 8 valve has no limiter on it, meaning that I could rev it until it didn't want to rev anymore :boggle: I thought 99.999% of cars have a limiter, even before this fancy engine management stuff?
