Well might be another update coming along shortly. I'm having some more issues with the clutch when I'm pressing on a little I keep losing my clutch the pedal doesn't return properly I can pump it and it's fine. I've also bleed it and can't seam to get clean fluid out of it. I made a peep hole and it looks like my slave is leaking again so new clutch again 3rd one in 8 years

@Beany @burrellbloke gives me an excuse to get the subframe off and fit the bushes,

 

[burrellbloke]

Solid or rubber subframe bushes?

I have got a spare subframe now and might put some solid bushes in at at some point.

Solid. I'm just a bit worried how much more noise it will make. I'm hoping not much as I've got the sw chasis brace which does link everything together

 

[Cliosport-carl]

Well took longer than expected but it always does this time however I have run in to several issues which sucked.. Firstly my passenger side lower ball joint didn't want to come out and when I heated it up well we know what happens when things get hot I melted the ball joint so I need another one of them. The joys and then my uj on my steering wheel was a complete pig to remove and had to grind the bolt off. Not ideal. Then I went to my pals to go and mod his new car. But came home and finished taking the box out and found this..



I'm not to sure the slave should be like this. Also was weird I found the rubber boot on top of the subframe God knows how it got there..

 

[burrellbloke]

I am no expert but that slave does not look right.

 

[Cliosport-carl]

So got the new clutch and slave back in and it looks much better. As I broke the lower ball joint I'm just waiting on the new one after the old one was removed.

 

[Cliosport-carl]

Also I found some more of the rubber boot in the starter motor.

 

[Cliosport-carl]

So small update yesterday I spent the night stripping the subframe and eating easter eggs so didnt get much done.

Ready for the new bushes



Then tonight
Welded 2 bolts in for the subframe brace
Put passenger hub and shock back on
Drive shafts back in
Subframe back together
Bolt up subframe and sw brace

So just got the passenger side lower arm with new ball joint when it gets here then torque everything up
Put oil in the box
Steering wheel uj
Bleed clutch
Sort out gear linkage
Wipers and panel back on
Air box and engine back back together
Wheels on
Test drive
Then realise it's all in backward and I've got 6 reverse gears lol

 

[Cliosport-carl]

Right all sorted.. Well kinda.


New ball joint and everything back together and esp/abs light comes on. Nothing unusual so took it round the block and it didn't turn off however when going back onto the drive I heard a crack from the steering and boom airbag light on.. So I removed the airbag code so I could focus on the other lights took my wheel off and a sensor was in plugged thank God that was easy now I just have no traction control and a check esp light every now and then I've ordered a new squib as it's going to be that and then hopefully I can enjoy it again lol

New bushes are ok you can hear the vibration slightly.

 

[R20BTG]

Are those subframe bushes the alloy PMS ones? How do they fit, just a press in friction fit?

Yeah there is a collar on the subframe it presses into

 

[Cliosport-carl]

And sadly not pms ones they didn't do them when I bought these last year just only for found to fitting them.

 

[burrellbloke]

On Pure's web site they also have subframe body tubes that they sell with the solid sub frame bushes - what are the body tubes for?

They’re for the upright which goes from the subframe (where the bolt for the front wishbone bush is) to the chassis legs

I see. Is that just to make it more rigid or does it change the height that the subframe sits?

 

[R20BTG]

I've nicked @Big Ben 's picture from his other thread as it was the only one I could find showing the subframe off the car. These bits:
