Up until a few days ago, I have never really known if I am doing the
"right thing" with my tires/camber. Well, with my GTI, it was easy.
I *ALWAYS* had way too little camber. Chalk on the sidewalls will
only get you so far.
Now that I have an RX-8 (finally a car with ADJUSTABLE suspension) I
need a "more better" approach to my setup. As such, I've been looking
for a decent tire pyrometer for a while.
>From what I've found, most everything doesn't fit in my budget.
Longacre & Raytek make quality products, but I'd rather not spend 300
bucks for something that is at best going to be a seat of the pants
adjustment tool for quite some time.
Then my dad reminded me of our 1/8th gas car days. We used a Raytek
Pyrometer that he bought from Tower Hobbies. Tower no longer sells
Raytek gear, but they do have a DuraTrax Pyrometer for 23 bucks. So,
now I have an infrared pyrometer that fits in the ash tray of my new
RX-8.
If any of you want to test it out, or have a pyrometer that I can
compare/contrast with at the DC tour, please stop by and say Hi. I'll
be the beaming idiot in the bright blue RX-8 with "Snort" logos on it.
