Derusted with a flap disc and a 'polishing disc'. Now it 'only' needs a de-grease, a coat of paint and fresh bushings...

The S2000 rear subframe has been reinforced through gussets in key areas and extra tubing placed strategically to offer a much stiffer subframe.

Subframe painted in 'stonechip', which is a plasticky paint. It was sprayed on using a compressor. This went over the primer. It's quite thick stuff, and hopefully will add on at least a decade to the subframe.

MBM 25 is a very diffuse molecular cloud that covers practically the whole image, extending in the constellation of the Lynx. These molecular clouds, also referred to as flow nebulae or galactic cirrus, are made up of gigantic dust and gas clouds of very low density (estimated to be between 25-50 particles per cubic centimeter), basically H and CO.
They belong to our own galaxy but are located in high latitudes galactic, that is, above and below the main disk or galactic plane of the Milky Way. They are at distances of the order of thousands or tens of thousands of light years, much closer that distant galaxies that glows in the background
(in this case, literally hundreds of them in the background) and whose vision and light filter us by getting in our visual. The dust disperses the blue light and reinforces a broad spectrum of red light, known effect known as "ERE "(Extended Red Emission). This sensibly attenuates blue glimpses and enhances the reds in visual images.
These structures were first detected in 1984 by the infrared IRAS satellite and later studied in depth by Magnani, Blitz and Mundy constituting the MBM catalog.

BSH brings you the staple of drivetrain reinforcement. The kit is a three piece design, a main body, an intermediate body, and a polyurethane subframe insert. Each component has been designed to accomplish rock solid performance, easy to maintain, and aesthetic enhancement of the respective part of the car.
Performance Features:
As we are sure you’ve noticed the factory motor mounts have a ton of give in them. Torque mount inserts are a good start but there is still another bushing left to give slop to the overall feel of the engine. Our billet mounts reduce the ability of the engine to flex back by incorporating 88a durometer bushings and the billet bodies to hold them. Once installed you will notice significantly less movement from engine under acceleration which will result in a better ability for the power you are making to be transmitted to the road.
After installation you will notice the following:
Significantly reduced engine movement.
More feedback from the engine
Greatly reduced wheel hop
More defined throttle input
Smoother shifts for both DSG and Manual cars
Product Features:
During development we spent considerable time studying the factory part and incorporated many of the features into our performance rendition. These little additions turn the part into more then just a solidified way to connect point A to point B.
On the main body of the factory part there is a visible bit of material coming through the bushing. This material is used first to align the bodies of the mount and also to hold the hardware in a double shear. The point where the mounts bushing will flex puts stress on the solid hardware that holds the mount in place. The double shear allows the machined body to bear much of this burden before transmitting this force onto the hardware. This feature not only makes the part easier to install but also greatly increases the reliability.
On the tail end of the main body we have matched the OEMs profile to allow for a simple installation. The curves allow the body to lock into place into the factory position.
See pictures three and four in the "see more images" section for more information.
The hardware used is grade 8 stainless steel to ensure corrosion resistance. Also included is the one time use factory bolt.
All major components have been hard anodized black to give a classy and stealth appearance to the vehicle.
Compatibility with various OEM configurations:
This kit will fit the following vehicles:
VW GTi & GLi 2.0T (DSG and Manual)
VW Rabbit and Jetta 2.5 (Manual Confirmed, Auto testing not yet complete)
VW Passat 2.0T (DSG and Manual)
VW MKV R32 (DSG)
Audi A3 2.0T (DSG and Manual)

ASR subframe reinforcement braces for most of the popular Hondas!!
The A Spec Racing subframe Brace strengthens your subframe, preventing it from tearing behind the mounting hardware of a large-diameter sway bar by enlarging the contact region between the two as well as limiting torsional force on the subframe sheet metal.
Features
- ASR 6061-T6 aluminum subframe reinforcement bar
- 6061-T6 aluminum support plates
- Installation Hardware

That nut is extremely difficult to get to with the subframe in place. Luckily, the bolt did not turn in place when I unscrewed the nut.

You will not win bushing! All this extra work because I refused to go the ghetto route and burn out the rubber and cut the rest out with a saws-all.
"Fitting the cab, grille and wiring to the subframe"
This issue is an important stage in the assembly process as the cab is fitted to the subframe. The first part of the lower deck flooring is also supplied.
Although the front part of the lower deck floor was supplied with this issue, it is not yet fitted to the bus. This overhead view shows it in place, but not screwed down. The 30cm ruler gives an idea of size!
