Not worth removing the rev limiter unles you change the cams etc as the later 5 cylinders in the series 3 cars ran out of puff after about 5700rpm anyway. well worth removing the CAT on the exhaust, perfectly legal on an 89 car. ALso as stated, decent fuel, decent plugs and leads decent filter and taking a chunk out of the bottom of the airbox should not make any difference to running/ starting unless you pulled something off in the process. Chopped the bottom of mine and added a stainless chute to guide cool air in. Good luck
