Weird noise coming from my front driver's side wheel
lol!! its a thin peice of metal that sits between the brake pad & the caliper piston. i just removed mine & apllied some copper slip grease to the back of the pads which does the same thing - helps stop brake squeel. hth

Calling all Suspension and Camber Gurus
it would be easier if they gave a ride height for you to check, but i cant find any such data. they do give the dimensions of the springs however : spring data

i had this, like a metalic scraping on the disc. it turned out to be the anti squeel shim had worn & was just touching the disc.

Calling all Suspension and Camber Gurus
hi Gio. the springs will wear over time & this is prob a cause of ride height being out of spec, which will directly affect camber. the shocks will obviously effect handling/wear, though will not make any difference to the static camber specs you see on the screen. the bushes on the suspension would need excessive play or wear in them to effect the camber to any great amount IMO. however, all of these things will contribute to tyre wear, & dynamic camber settings when actually driving. HTH :)

Joke
A young boy went up to his father and asked, "What is the difference between potentially and realistically ?" The father pondered for a while, then answered, "Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Robert Redford for a million pounds. Then, ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million pounds. Come back and tell me what you have learned." So the boy went to his mother and asked, "Would you sleep with Robert Redford for a million pounds ?" The mother replied, "Of course I would. I wouldn't pass up an opportunity like that !!" The boy then went to his sister and said, "Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million pounds ?" The girl replied, "Oh gosh !! I would just love to do that. I would be crazy to pass up that opportunity" The boy then thought about it for a day or two and went back to his dad. His father asked, "Did you find out the difference between potentially and realistically ?" The boy replied, "Yes, potentially we're sitting on two million pounds, but realistically we're living with two slappers" The father replied, "That's my boy !!"

Low Oil Pressure
i would check it with an oil pressure test gauge, which screws directly into the sender hole. far more accurate way of testing oil pressure.

Std T25 vs T25 Hybrid?
hybrids should give a power increase - a hybrid is, as its name suggests, a hybrid of 2 turbos, usually a smaller turbine to allow quick spool up, coupled to a larger compressor to give higher air flow. :)
