I was just reading a post about you just paying for the headers and the seller was flying out on a plane.

cant catch a break lol, but my love for this car is too great
so i got the wheel hub replaced
got some unexpected play money so decided to get the coils ordered (should be in next week)
and now i think or better yet im pretty sure i need the master cylinder replaced, symptoms include creaky noise when pressing the brake and also break petal goes all the way to floor hitting the back a few times
*sigh
oh well baby gets what baby wants lol

I had a grinding type noise coming from the right front caliper that was only cured by replacing the caliper (I replaced both front calipers).
After the initial stop the pedal in all my Ford products can be pushed to the floor. I don't know why but it seems to be a trait of Ford products. As long as you have no issues stopping the car I wouldn't worry about the pedal. Like I said, after coming to a stop (or even after the initial pedal "stop") I can always push the pedal further.
ok that makes me feel a little better , it just worries me that i can hear the creak inside as well
the car has no issues stopping at all , heck i barely tap the break and it responds perfectly
the brake fluid is perfect , so im just a little baffled by noise
yes im very nervous when i start hearing any noise in my car
heres a vid i just took, any input guys
just the front brakes make the creaking noise

Replaced both toe links with Deeza from Rockauto this Saturday. Took pictures of the rubber boots (inner tie rod) during installation. Took a peek today after driving around town and the rubber boots were all twisted (didn't raise the car so can't take a good picture, but will do once I have the time). Lazy bastards from Tireplus didn't even make sure that the boots are rotating with the rod during alignment. Well this is what you get when you let shops do stuff to your car. I hope I could the wheel alignment DIY, I just spent my precious time during installation not to twist those boots.
If somebody needs a decent rear outer tie rod, I have one available (just pay me shipping). The boots are cracked, the balljoint is still OK and I could put in a polyurethane sealant to prolong its life. The other one is totally shot, got to throw it away.

That's EXACTLY the sound I had! It has no effect on stopping; mine did it for year or so before I replaced the calipers. Using brake-quiet on the back of the pads caused the sound to disappear, but only for a month or so. The only way I could eliminate the creak completely was to replace the caliper.

wet sanded and clear coated the headlights with krylon fusion(junk!!!). it came out super cloudy so i sanded that off and went back to walmart for a can of rust-oleum lacquer clear. Hoping it turns out better tomorrow. Anybody used spray can clear on headlights? What kind? Results?

NGK. I know someone here said they like the E3 plugs, but every single person I know who has used E3 plugs has had poor mileage, poor throttle response and a rough idle.

I would use double platinum or iridium plugs. The stock plugs are mostly NGK.
