Miami Blue ph1 dturbo
#1
Hi all, this is my wee project thread. I have a 95 Miami dturbo. Had it since February last year. Got it for £550 with 10 months mot and 4 months tax. It has a D8A block and Bosch pump! It had just had a new rad and alternator as well. Anyway, some pics.[img][Image: photo21.jpg][/img]

The rear lights on it were cracked, so got a set from ebay for 99p!

After that, fitted a boost gauge. boosting at 19psi, then I put my straight through on it and now boosting at 24psi.I haven't touched the pump or turbo. Then the axle went, so on with a spare one I had.

I'm crap at remembering to take pics while I work, so only pics from after.

Also fitted my S16 half leathers.

Had to change the steering rack as it was leaking.

And that's pretty much all I've done to it since I've had it. Thanks for reading anf I'll keep it updated if I do anymore to it. Might not have it much longer as I'm looking for an estate.

Yep, well, not for sale as such, I was looking to swap it for an estate.

Looks mint! Are those momo arrow alloys? You should definitely get some fondmetal 4000 alloys on it and it would look amazing!

They are Fox alloys, I forget the model of them though. I don't know if I'll be spending any more on it. I love the car but it just isn't big enough now.

Thanks, I know the wheels ain't to everyone's liking, but I like them. Anyone know why my dash lights aren't working, haven't worked since I got it and the previous owner put blue led strips on a switch to see the speedo in the dark, it's got me stumped.

Is the dash dimmer switch plugged in? All the dashboard illumination is earthed into that one plug

It doesn't have a dimmer switch on it. I've had a look behind the panel there and there is no wiring there.

Nice looking ph1 you got there mate, and im not usually a fan of ph1's! I did notice though, in the top picture, the other 306 parked on the right of the drive has the angel eye headlights that Toms306 has, and claims are particularly rare! Don't suppose you still have them do you? Wink

Thanks. I do still have the angel eyes, they are on my dads ph2. They seem to be rare, toms are the only other set I know of.

Well, looks like this has come to an end. I have just bought a 5 door ph3 nad with a snapped cam so I'm taking the engine from this for it. So I'll have a ph3 Dturbo, but a proper Dturbo. I'll start a new thread for the ph3 when I get pics and started with the engine swap. Anyone interested in a Miami ph1 rolling shell? lol.

Tbh, im sure there would be at least SOME interest in the shell mate, you're only 1 post shy of access to the for sale section, so when you're ready to get shot of the Miami shell, get a thread up. Smile

Would be a shame to see this broken up, looks too clean for that fate. Im sure someone on here would be interested in saving it. Wink

Yeah, the thing is though, I'm in Scotland! It is fairly clean, has some rust scabs coming through next to the sunroof, a dent and scratch on the near side rear quarter and the front bumper has a small crack in it. I hope someone does save it! I can store it for a month or two, but if there is no interest, it will be off to the scrappy.
