With an F15CR, 3.74 final drive (standard X16XE setup), 195/45 15 tyres and a 6750rpm rev limit (where mine was as standard) it would do 131.5mph IF it would rev to the limiter in 5th, and if there was no wind resistance (which is impossible on the road)

195?
195 would be 139mph, 185 would be 136. 185 is more likely to be the size, 195/60 14 seems an odd one 
That's theoretical top speed though, in a vacuum

They are odd sized tyres.
So it is possible for me to get off my 130mph clocks then thioretically then.

Yep, but it's possible for a standard 1.6 Corsa to do 136mph, theoretically.

So, going by that, my clocks are only 2mph out at 131.5mph
