Why do you have them mounted backwards ?

Besides, the way that they are now, I would think that they would do more harm than good. |

Re: mud flaps - Old picture!
I've since lost more vanity (wanting to keep the side of the car clean), and the fronts were removed. The rears remain on the car because they're part of the wheel skirt mounting method.
Re: pressure readings - it just so happens the online weather station is within about 1 km of the road I use for testing.
Re: coastdown testing -
normally it's done on a level road (if you're trying to use it to back calculate Cd). Hills can be useful just for comparing relative differences because the longer the car coasts, the more accurate the data will be.
