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"

Re: Is this weldable ?
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...

Re: Is this weldable ?
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...

Re: Is this weldable ?
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.

Is this weldable ?
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.

Re: L355CTY - Ever regretted selling a car?
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 !

Re: 1995 MR2 Turbo
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... ? ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] this a rev 1 or rev 2 engine?
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 ...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Na cluster in a turbo
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
