Recently bought a 2nd hand 94 FD. Told the wife its my mid life crisis car. The exterior is in the worst shape, chips, cracks, dents. Engine runs well, but cold cranking takes a few seconds. Interior isnt too bad, just a tiny bit of cracked leather on the seats as to be expected. I have many long term plans for her and hope to get roughly 500hp on pump gas.

She came with some mods:
Non sequential turbo
egr disabled but not removed
Microtech Lt-10s ecu
Apexi power intake
Apexi N1 exhaust
Unknown aftermarket down pipe
Apexi AVCR
Apexi BOV
Tein Flex Z coil overs
Supra tt fuel pump
Cracked and crumbling bodykit
Bent and dented fender

Few things needs repairs:
Aftermarket driver side power lock actuator replacement
Dented oil pan needs replacing
A/C leak from dryer connectors line to condensor
Passenger power window intermittent failure
Frayed ps, ac belt
Aftermarket oil temp guage not working
Exhaust temp guage no read out
Missing alarm hood pin
Driver door map box lid has one end tab broken

Future for this FD:
Apexi exhaust control valve (its just so damn loud right now, barely tolerable with the silencer on)
New bodykit and complete repaint
99 front bumper lights
AST delete by rotarywerks stubby version
Battery relocaton to trunk
SBG Smart Coils IGN-1A
CJM prime and secondary fuel rails
CJM pressure regulator
1050/1700cc injectors
Stoptech ss brake lines
Stoptech cross drilled/ slotted brake disks
Block off plates for already disconnected egr
Pulley kit with PR idler pulley
Duel oil coolers
Greddy v-mount
Undecided which single turbo. Leaning towards efr 9180
AEM water/methanol injection
RE Amemiya short shift
RE Amemiya 400g shift knob

Whats ive done so far:
First was the map box lid. Gave the end with the broken tab a quick sand so its flat. Pre drilled a tiny hole where the old tab use to be. Found a screw with the appropriate width and screwed it in the pre drilled hole then cut it off the head at the right length. Slipped right back into place with some gental persuasion. Works perfectly.

Hard to believe ppl install alarms without hood pins but a wire pulled to the engine bay and a new hood pin has the alarm ringing when the hood is popped.

Loose wire reconnected for the oil temp gauge and is now working properly.

New exhaust temp guage probe. Now working properly.

After market power door actuator replaced and power doors are now fully working from alarm system

Opened up the driver side power window switch to find one of those plastic white pins were worn down flat for the passenger window side. Fabricated a new pin out of a small piece of abs pipe and sanded it down to same shape and size. Now passenger power window is working properly.

Battery has been relocated to the trunk running Rockville 0 guage 100% copper wire through the driver side with a stinger 250amp breaker placed close to the battery with capped battery terminals. Slight mod to the battery tray removing the dip to get it to sit flat and bolted down to the trunk.

Block off plates installed and already disconnected egr items removed.

Cruise control deleted. Lets face it. I have never used one on any car in my 20 something yrs of driving.
