Seriously though, if the Exige was driven properly you would have been the one doing the chasing. After all, the Stig put one round the Top Gear Track in the sixth quickest time last year beating a 911 GT3 and others. In the wet!
After what happened at the American car wash, I thought it best to learn a new trade, and get started on some detailing myself.

JD fella,
Thanks so much for your help...but my parents have offered to pay Off Your Marks Detailing for a full correction.
I will however be billing the American Car wash, as they did offer to correct their mistake, but I have been told that polishing alone wont correct it, and anyhow...
Just had a look on this website,

I wanted to sort my car out, clean it up, and restore the paintwork.

This is a good start and probably an accurate of a guess anyone...
In my 182, under the ash tray is a comunication socket, which I then plug My RSTuner into, which in turn is already attached to my laptop...Then through the RSTuner programe downloaded from the Fastchip's websit, it will comunicate and download/upload data to your ECU.

You have to keep in mind that a rolling road session is normally done indoors. And a live read done using the RSTuner is done outside. The road surface, wind and the humidity can all affect the outcome of the final result.
For a more accurate reading, you need next to no wind, a perfectly flat...
I used this .cal file yesterday, and installed it onto my ECU, First thing I noticed was that after just three miles the curse control was working, and my fuel economy went up to 35mpg from 31mpg! I thought this strange but the car does run a hell of a lot smoother, it idles at 900-1000 rpm...
