Ok good to know, I will weigh the costs and the work, looks like the Odyssey is the winner right now.
That's another question I needed to ask. For the 1g hatch struts what are yours like (or any other 1g guys). Mine since day one I have to push the hatch up and then when they are fully open they will hold the hatch open. I've got a piece of wood to hold my hatch up, as do most 1G owners. Although new hatch struts are ~$35 if I recall correctly. Also, how were you planning on mounting the battery to the subframe?

LOL, I am just trying to figure out if the struts are supposed help me lift it or just hold it up.
J hook and tapping that piece of the car that bulges out a little inside the engine bay.

Maybe in the FSM it specifies CCA for the OE battery and you can determine which Odyssey is the right one for you. With my car, I replaced my hatch struts last summer (RTM) and as soon as you get about 3-4 inches up from the latch, it goes up on it's own and stays up. There isn't any "locking" position that I'm aware of in a 2g. RTM's were I think $20-$40 for the pair. No brainer! lol

Yeah I definitely need new ones, these ones suck and were bad yesterday. I would assume temperature shouldn't have that much of an effect on them.

Yeah mine won't even do that I have to force mine half way and then I can finally relax as it will slowly do the second half for me. I am creating a list for Ziggy for when he get's back!

It's a ridiculous struggle to get it the first half, I will just grab new ones this order and keep these as spares. Noted on the Monroe's, that a pain!

Because I love my tunes and know I should be wearing hearing protection I have combined the two. Below is all the parts I needed (Thanks to Alex for the headphones) I removed the speakers from Alex's headphones and pulled the wires off. I had some headphone wire left over from some sony's I ripped apart to add a mic to, so used that for my wires. Used the ear muffs I picked up from princess (they are not that great because they have a hole so they can pivot 360, which ends up letting some sound in. Tools: -Soldering Iron -Hot Glue gun -Lighter -Stripper (not the woman kind, or the man kind for that matter) -Drill the same size as the wire going into the muffs

I ended up grabbing the black one from princess when it was on sale. My original plan was to grab the blue and white one from CTC but got tired of waiting.

Sorry boys, I was trimming up the piece and finished my oil change and then got a call and never got back to it.
I may finish on Sunday, if not then Monday for sure.

Also I can confirm what Mr. Stacey said, rust definitely explodes when you try to weld it.

Ok cool sounds good, I need to figure out my jack situation first. I need to do my rockers too but currently the car doesn't get that high off the ground, making it a pain! Make it cider and you got a deal!
