Was goign to PM you about that when I saw it, long way mind!

Tut,

I think it's unlikely they are exactly the same.

Phone John (parts) at MMC and get him to compare part numbers ...

Just compared the photo of mine with the clam off to the one on eBay.

They are in fact different.

Different again from the 'yota rear subframe

which I think is based on the VX longer subframe

If you want tut I could come round in my s2 and you could have a look at the subframe to compare it to yours

Thanks LB, they are in fact different.

By all means come around anyway for a natter, always good to talk with another Eliser, and we may even get you into joining in on the darkside.

Only a hunch, but when the S2 came out I thought I read that the subframe was modded a bit because it shared some DNA with the VX's, which was adapted to enable the Vauxhall engine to fit. And I would not be at all surprised if an S2.5 frame was different again, to squeeze the Toyota lump into it.

What's up Tut, is your rear subframe giving you trouble again?

no probs at the moment with either of them Campbell, but never sure what is going to happen to N2 TUT when it sees a parking meter....... <BG>
