Hmmmm, this one hasn't gotten any comments. Are you guys still digging these old articles? Yes, no? More, less?

Maybe some of us aren't wealthy enough to have tires with treads? I kid. It definitely has me interested.
And like a total ditz I scrolled down to the SR20 engined Corona article and spun off to eBay.

When I get home from this trip I'm going to dig through my back issues and see if I have this one.
I go to my archives and pull out the original magazine when you post these, David, unless it's an article from before Jan. 1987. My wife has suggested I'm a hoarder.
It's not only Interesting I feel it's VERY relivent, this is how I was Taught and recently suggusted that DB13 use this method to ready his car for the Challenge.
When I was tracking my ZX2SR I used a pyrometer to arrive at my alignment settings and tire pressures. When I increased the caster it showed I could reduce the camber.
This article is great! I'm always guessing at tire pressures, going to pick up a pyrometer and hopefully dial them in with some data rather than feel.
So, where can i get a good cheap pyrometer? Cause this article will help us not be dfl at the challenge.
