yeah, subframe twists a lot, thats the main reason I don;t recomend/do the clutches by levering down the back corner of it.

they are bad enough for cracks as standard without being stressed being removed. Its ok if you support the lot and unbolt all the bolts at the same time.

Didn't know that

I was goin to get a new one and get it stitch welded but i can't be arsed now

BTW if you order a new one from ren you need to get a dogbone mount with it, they've obviously changed the design

you can get the right one. to convert to dog bone you neeed to weld the mout on the drivers strut etc.

Only the td's used the dogbone mount set up unless its a megane subframe.

megane 1.4 and 1.6 ph1 subframes are the same as the 19's.

stich welding the frames good way to strengthen it, also adding more/beefier triangular plates help.
