FD Project: Single Turbo RE Amemiya with german TÜV - dream or nightmare

[Staubkappe]

As just teased in the "New Members" section i will be starting a build thread for something quite big, even though the first few months won't be that interesting as it will be mostly cleanup, service and fixing while waiting for parts. However, even that may be interesting for someone new to see.
So far i just fixed a rattling silencer inlet, a loose wire for the AFR Gauge, a loose intercooler piping and the brake light switch (with a bottle cap). Car still idles a bit high but that will be fixed when the old turbos, houses and ECU come out or earlier if i find the motivation to dig into the adaptronic.

Here i will post everything i do on the car or what i order for the project. So far, basic stuff like an oil filter, but also some things i just didn't think of before like a different rubber plate for my jack or deep 1/4" sockets for the front bumper.

So this is what we are starting with: https://fdoc.co.uk/forum/threads/new-fd-owner-build-thread-starting-soon.7878/post-66543

Small progress over the last weekend:
- did an oil change
- fitted another over-fender so i am allowed on the road again

Idle issues still persists (1500rpm) but the idle goes down to steady 900 rpm when unplugging the icv. However, then the car dies when trying to reverse even when revving up to 2.500rpm when letting the clutch come.
Probably an issue with the tune but not sure. AFR readings are ok but the lambda targets set are way too high. Guess i will have to dig into the adaptronic...
