I have never corner weighted the car. I have not found a set of scales cheap enough to buy to make it worth while for me at home. I have also never been anywhere where the service is available.
I do believe that there are some places in Adelaide that can do it from past conversations but haven't looked into it. I do all my own alignments, but one day I might go and get a race car prep professional to have a go.
Definitely a higher pressure inside the guard and lower pressure outside. I placed the 'sensor' both under the guard, and behind the cooler location and had the same reading.
The moulds for the vents turned out pretty crappy. Despite the 8 coats of wax, the mould stuck to the 'plug', which pulled from the car completely. This meant I spent ages (2 days) cleaning all the clay, plaster and filler out of the mould and then cleaning up the mould. They are still not good enough, but I am at the point where I just want something to put on the car. I'll wax them up as they are and see how they turn out.
I cut the steel out of the guard today. Guess I am comitted.
I also started work on the front vertex bar. I fitted it up. It needs heaps of work to fit nice, but before I worry about that I need to address the fact that the front of the lower lip is rasied up 40mm higher than the rear, meaning that fitting a splitter to the bottom won't work. I started that with a corflute splitter and filling the gap with expanding foam. I could not find any foam sheeting today so resorted to the expanding foam, despite the fact I have had poor results in the past.
