I guess it's something to think about... I'm not really worried about personally.. I'm used to tire rub.. just had a passenger today that made a big deal of it...

He likes to make any int/ext noises a big deal though.. nerd that thinks any car mods are stupid and one of those types that likes to grab an intellectual one-up any time he can...even if it entails my car.. yeah, it's sick lol.

I work in the IT field so I have to deal with supra-nerds on a regular basis.

lol.. yeah but he's the one I'm thinking of going recruit to make a video of the rubbing.

Can't eject those guys cause they're more than thankful to pull away from sony PS driving games to go have some REAL driving games lol.

You have to drive that point home! lol.
A Grand for a Turbo is cheap indeed, but it must be tiny though.
I've seen some of those...
