Took the car on a 3 hour drive this weekend. 70-75 MPH was doable unless I hit hills.
I am getting some stumbling from the engine under load, so I think spark plug wires and igniter are next.
I am going to delete the EGR from this car. There are better ways to keep this thing clean instead of ruining everything in the intake track.
orikawa door cards arrive tomorrow. will post pics once it is installed. Also got the solve function tweeter mount so I may need to replace the front door speakers soon

Have you messed with your ignition timing?

I did have to add a spacer to get the speaker to fit, and knuckles do rub on the grab handle. That is all though. fit and finish are exactly as advertised.
@orikawa these are not deal breakers but my own thoughts for a future version:
1. Add a small indent on the grab handle area if possible, knuckles rub
2. Option sound deadening, after adding it to my panel I would say it is 100% worth it. Increased the "solideness" of the door if nothing else.

Ah I thought you were putting sound deadening INSIDE the door panel, like peeling back the vapor barrier and putting it on the outside shell of the door. I've heard that this helps with the closing feeling more mercedes like. 
I get why you might do this too though. I bet it definitely helps.
But the thing about the knuckles is good feed back. I want these door panels, but I could see my wife complaining about that. I wish I could see a set in person and feel them. I like the industrial-ness of it. But the stark emptiness of the panel is kind of sad too. HAHA.

Putting sound deadening on the door skin itself is the single biggest improvement for sound that you can do. I only did 50% coverage on my doors and it was a massive difference for sound and feel. I recommend FatMat always. Price and quality are spot on.
There are 12 thick washers that can go behind the interior door handle screws if the added thickness of the sound damping makes it hard to get the handle surround on.
What kind of speakers are those ? They're the deepest looking speakers I've seen in recent memory.

I went the amazon basics route due to a number of youtube videos suggesting it. Costs like 23 bucks to cover two door cards.
Speakers are focal 6.5 inch (PC165SF). They are very deep, but they punch hard enough to not need a sub. I had to add a 15mm spacer to make it fit without contacting the door frame.
Thanks for the washer thing! I didn't know what they were for and was scratching my head all morning thinking about it

I pulled the hardware off the original door cards and attached them to the orikawa door cards. I used amazon basics sound deadening at 100% coverage. A pair of sheers did the cutting quite nicely from harbor freight
But you have a 94
I think there is a turbo kit in production for OBD1 trucks. I don't feel its necessary personally, but I haven't tried driving at 5000-10000ft yet.
