I put a new front center motor mount in the Odyssey. It's amazing what kind of difference you can feel from a fresh motor mount. I only knew the old one was bad because I had a coupon for a free "inspection" with a reduced-price dealer oil change and they could tell it was bad somehow. The new one raised the engine almost an inch higher off the front sub frame. Have one more mount to replace that wasn't as bad and some brake pads to do next.

Keep us posted on this one -- sounds interesting
Well I got around to finishing the air horn installation today. It's not as loud as I was hoping for, but I think I'll be noticed more when I blow at someone. I had bought one for my '97 Escort, but since they were inexpensive I'm considering hooking both of them to the same car it would be very easily done without even having to use the second compressor I could just add a couple of tee's to the air line and run a line to the other two horns. I seldom use my horn unless someone blows at me for not driving the way they want me to then I'll usually blow back at them if they act like an a-hole.
