    Quick question for Exige Owners I'm looking for some info on the standard direct to head throttle bodies fitted to a VHPD Exige. Are they the "swan neck" type? Cheers Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21

    I'm planning a rebuilt of my 21 this winter and I am now at the stage of choosing the suspension set-up. I am thinking of those: Adjustable spring platforms from CC at £275 Or Adjustable spring platforms and race springs from CC at £325 Or The Bilstein race dampers at £95 per corner with adjusters at £146.38 and 250lb springs for the front £22.00 each and 210lb spring for the rear £25.00 each Or The Freestyle spring damper kit with 250lb springs for the front and 210lb spring for the rear for £465 Cost is an issue this is why I have chosen those one and the car is a road car not a track day toy. Which one will you choose and why? Thanks for your thought Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21

    Have contacted B-K and he gave me the number for Peter of Arrow Star in Bicester. Arrowe Star rings a bell for the all the wrong reason. Is it a different company than the one which was repported in Low Flying? Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21

I whish to have the engine/gearbox of my 21 out this winter to tidy up the rust inside the engine bay which require the engine being out of the car. Thanks you in advance Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21

    Foxy I've found all the info needed. If you want to e-mail me please do so. There is a bit of physics and an electrical diagram to understand, but it is not rocket science Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21

    For big sliding gate, from 1.5 T, they are all 3-phase motor converted to single-phase use. To start any single-phase motor you need to have a capacitor. The motor inside a washing machine are single-phase motor and the big white cylinder on the side of it is a AC capacitor. I will dig my electromechanical engineering and find out how to calculate the size of the capacitor. If you have a 3-phase motor you can have a forward and a reverse or two forward speeds Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21

    If you can isolate the 3 coils it is very easy and cheap to modify it to work on main. You could even have a reverse. What you need is an ohmmeter to isolate the coil and an AC capacitor of around 10 to 16 micro-farad (can supply those, about £5). Some of my bigger sliding motors are three phase motors converted to work on a single-phase power supply. Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21

    I used to have one of those fitted to my rover 214si. It made it smoother and use a bit less petrol Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21

    Quick question I had to repair some body work on the 21 with some GRP. I'm ready to repaint it, do I need to prime the GRP? Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21

    Try Falken http://www.topgear.co.uk/acatalog/16__Falken_Tyres.php I'm using the ZE and they have huge amount of grip on a 21. I cannot wheelspin at the trafic light and in the wet they are quite good (running 16psi at the front and 18psi at the back) Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21 Edited by - jackb_ms on 15 Jul 2005 16:51:08

    Thanks for the advice gentlemen I've ask one of my Wrought iron gate maker and he has agreed to make one out of thiker metal. Cheers Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21

    I need to make a little bracket out of 1mm thick steel. One part will need to be bend to 90 degrees. What is the best way of bending the steel whiteout weakening the steel? Will it be to heat it up and then slowly bending it to shape? Any other ideas? I don’t have access to a press Thanks for your help Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21

    The car was built in 1996-97, with a CC dry sump. I'll have a look at Kev's idea when I have the new oil pressure sender unit. Dave do you know the one I need if I have a nut witch fit a 16mm spanner (M10 from my book) Cheers Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21

    Where did you got the hose from? Somewhere local? Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21
  22. jackb_ms
    Yes I do remember that is a good idea, using a bit of brake hose. I might just copy it, with the CC one 😬 It might work! and 50cm of brake hose cannot be too expensive Cheers Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21
  23. jackb_ms
    It is a CC, and I'm going to replace it for a C C one. Don't want to change the gauge. Why? Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21
  24. jackb_ms
    Ok Thank for the description I might just not bother with fitting one right now. Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21
  25. jackb_ms
    Hi Do someone as picture of the oil pressure sender kit from CC? How difficult is it too fit? What does it involve? Thanks Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21
