And the car looks cool! One of my favourite 964's anywhere. The ducktail and perfect stance does it for me.

Yep, albeit just the IR gun. If you hold it pretty close to the tyre you can still take inside, middle, outside measurements at each corner. I'm really just looking for a fairly even spread of temps to confirm tyre pressures as I can't get more camber. Usually happy if they're within 5 degrees C or so across each tyre. You do have to be quick to do it though with an IR gun as the tyre will cool from the outside first. A probe pyrometer is better, eg Longacre etc - gives you more time and some will save the data as you go. I take these tread readings before getting the tyre pressures, as those don't come down near as fast. The more camber you're running, the better off you'll be with a probe pyrometer as the outer edges of the tyres will cool down much quicker than the insides on a cool down lap. After taking the readings I usually drive my car around a bit more to help the rotors cool more evenly.
Anyone have a probe pyrometer? Would be great to get access to one for the 28th.

Thanks on the compliment Glenn. I went to jack Herman up to get the track wheels on and noted I can no longer get the jack fittings on top of the race jack. The springs and shocks must have settled lower over the last 6 months. He's running a lot lower than the R. I don't think you'd want to go any lower. How's the 3.2 hunt going?

I like the setup. Easy to use. And that's very true. We did have a lot of painted outlines in our RNZAF workshops and I did like knowing exactly where my tools went.
Not many 3.2's out there I've taken a liking too recently. Few other models have taken my fancy though and I'm very patient John. The right car at the right price will come up soon

Thanks for the info, definitely food for thought. I'd also be keen to take measurements after a spirited B road run, although the deltas will be smaller and environment may impact validity. Ideally I would like to be running settings that suit weekend driving, but aren't terrible for the track. Anyone have a probe pyrometer? Would be great to get access to one for the 28th.

Mate --- you aren't gonna want to get any scratches or chips on that baby for a while. Very nice

Thanks for the kind comments guys - seriously hanging out for a fang........
I will have to arrange a special Miller's Back Sunday run - we can christen with some stone chips........
I will hold off completing the interior for a while - as I just want the car back - maybe a mid winter job??
Next job will be to soften the suspension (and raise the ride height
- I do like the stance, but over tramlining across the road - 17's and taller tire wall might soften this??)
