Re: New Proxes ! now wearing a nappy when driving

Toyo changed the compound the tyres were made from and the location if I remember correctly, must be three years ago now and the handling problem mentioned above came to light when the rears were changed but not the fronts.

Did it make any noticeable improvement in braking?

It was treated as a belt and braces approach, the Trophy has the larger discs so stopping was not a problem you just have to remember to pump the pedal if the front wheels lock, up as in the old days.

Re: Brake Servo Support

I have changed both on my Trophy as it has no ABS, I used the MG Mania bracket, the old air box is a pig to remove as you have to destroy it to get it out but the snorkel just bolts on, I remember that the original advert for the mounting bracket had a video clip that was almost sexual.

Re: Trophy Mpg

I believe that the 160 VVC engine is good with fuel economy and emissions for is age and HP, as the VVC acts over all of the engine RPM range.

This is another idea for your tax disc holder, if you are inclined that way!

Re: Difficult to engage gears

Check the condition of the quadrant on the gear change at the gear box itself, mine was badly worn and I changed it for a Mike Satur replacement, it needs careful setting up too.
