My 95 DX Candy White

Postby Proximus » Fri Jul 28, 2017 6:29 pm

Hi all

Registered years ago but never posted a thing.
So here it is :D

I drive a 1995 EG4 DX.
I bought it from the second owner who had it for 8 years.
It was originally Forest green but the paint started to peel so he had it resprayed in Candy White (VW color).

The car was completely stock when i bought it and had some small rust spots.
So i took it to a bodyshop where they cut out the rust and resprayed the rear panels.

In the meantime i ordered a D2 coilover set, amber corners and EK skirts.

When i got the car back i installed these right away.
I then replaced the original silverstone rims with Rota Slipstream.
After that i bought a Tanabe Hyper Medallion catback from an EK and got that fitted.

I also got 262mm brakeswap from a Del Sol with swaybar.

I drive the car daily to work.
When i bought it it had 131xxx km on it. Currently it has 134xxx km on it.


Future plans:

Replace the d15b2 for a d16z6 or b-series and maybe even turbo it
Replace the frontbumper
Spoon spoiler (maybe also the mirrors)
DC2 or Bride seats
Personal or Nardi steeringwheel + snapoff
Replace the fabric on the door panels

I think that was it, time for some pictures!

Oh wow, you did a job well done modifying and cleaning an old car. Is it still safe to ride, considering its model? :oops:

To be honest, hell no!
But i love every drive in the EG. I have owned a 2005 BMW and a 2007 Accord but there is not much fun with these newer cars :P

Ofcourse :D
Plans enough, money too little.

I want to convert it to OBD1 and do the MPFI swap.
Electric windows + mirrors (folding would be nice)
Maybe turbo it or swap a B-Serie in it.
