GT3 Questions
I picked up my SY 05 GT3 today and have a couple of questions. When making a "hard right" turn the driver's side wheel rubs against something? Is this normal? The brakes seem to squeel? I suspect this has to do w/ the type of pads used? ( I don't have PCCB. )
Regards,
Chris

from the front wheels, 'sounds' (pun intended 
) like its the wheel brushings.
can be due to a bad alignment.
from the rear wheels, there may be some issues regarding the differntial at low speed.
anyways.
did you order this car? or was it off a dealer's lot.?

Not sure how mechanical sounding the rub is but I had a rubbing noise on near full lock while backing up. I took off the wheel and found one of the brake air deflectors loose. I clipped it back in place and that solved the rub. Perhaps that will help.
The forum has been somewhat littered with posts about noises, some of which have to do with rubs at full lock. No big issues that I can recall. Good luck.

Mine rubs at full lock too. Sounds like it's scraping the inner liner for the fenderwell. No big deal.
I've got 2k miles on my brakes and they still squeel sometimes. I don't have PCCB either. I thought it would bother me, but now I sort of like it (gives it that "race car" feel...).

Rubbing under hard slow lock

Brake squealing is normal.
