[TPR] Radiator, wheels, tires (e: Intake manifold photos)

[Asa Jay Laughton]

I won't argue on the ruling.  I agree, I have no intention of going full 
lock at 100 mph.  And all the responses I got indicate rubbing -only- 
happened in parking lots when turning in or out of spaces at full lock.  
I can live with that, honestly.  But passing tech is a little important 
to me too. :)
