It was just shy of £348 including vat so not a cheap part considering it needs painting and possibly sealing.


Quick Edit. This post should be in the off topic thread under "Worst pain you've experienced"

OK, So I have just picked up a new subframe from a Toyota "stealership" and new bolts just in case. After looking the new part over I can 100% see why they rust so bad. The weld looks like Stevie Wonder had a crack at it, lots of pin holes undercutting and a mess. They didn't clean the wel...

OK so I took the car down to my local import specialist in Derby,(Brian at Power House) he also advised me that it would be best to just replace. I can't find a face lift one anywhere so I'm gonna have to buy a new one from toyota. I can only assume they put extra bracing on for a good reason. I wil...

Thank you all for the input it's much appreciated.

I had a look on ebay for a replacement but the one I found was for a pre facelift. Mine is a 2003 facelift 6 speed, Am I right in thinking there is two types of subframe ?

Cheers Truzo.

Hi, I would just like some advice on my subframe.

Is this mess weldable or is it a new subframe job ?
As you can see the hole is directly next to one of the rear control arms. (Hidden behind it)






Cheers, Truzo.

Hey do you have any pictures of the swap ?

How rotten is the shell ? I currently have nothing to do and own a welder lol

I went to look at and test drive a rev3 na after owning 2 turbo's.
I did not buy it, heavily disappointed.

(it was a jdm tin top rev3 na, dunno if the uk ones are the same? )

I had the same thing when i sold my yellow rev2 tubby.

The bloke scuffed the front bumper and added £1000 to the price.

He even used the pictures i took to sell it !

I can only assume it's back up for sale.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-MR2-Turbo-1995-Rev-3-tintop-red-just-had-full-service-MOT-Aug-2018/192305680635?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908131621%26meid%3D9d9807bb20684b738c44eea2a11eb496%26pid%3D100678%26rk%3D7%26rk...

I would have it, Just cant afford it lol..........

That is a pretty car ! I need a SC in my life...
Had a N/a but i found it too slow, How much do these go for now days ? (already in the uk)

I think it's all because it says a rev2 block with rev 3 upgrades, When it looks like a rev 1 block with rev 3 upgrades. The rev 1/2 are supposed to have a stronger block, Smaller throttle body. less lift on the valves Higher compression. I don't know if this will make much of a difference tho... ? ...

Yes that looks a lot like a rev 1 throttle body to me !

Super looking car. I miss my yellow tubby so much ! I would buy this in a heart beat if i had the funds.
GLWS !

I would say rev 2 as it has a shorter intake to the throttle body and 2 vac pipes coming from the top of the throttle body, rev 1 only have 1 pipe.

Quick update for you... So i pulled off those nasty clock faces. They were stuck on with glue and have destroyed the stock black ones :( I went to visit a mr2 breakers in Sheffield and pick up a spare set of NA import clocks. I spent the morning picking and swapping the clocks and faces to make one ...

My clocks go to 180mph, would i need 180mph clocks or could i put anything into my shell and it would work fine ?

cheers joe.

Okay the link you posted is pretty much exactly what I'm after. I want a stock looking cluster and a NA voltmeter, The previous owner of my two put in some hideous faces http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-MR2-160MPH-NONE-TURBO-SPEEDO-WHITE-DIAL-KIT-DASH-LIGHTING-UPGRADE-/251716383124?hash=item3a9b7731...

I would like to know if i can "plug and play" a set of NA clocks into my rev 2 turbo ?

I know the NA's have a volt meter and to be honest i would rather have that than a useless boost gauge

Cheers
Joe
