Hey guys thanks for the comments, I appreciate it!

Anyway, I just took it to a detailing place to get it done. The interior was dusty and the seats needed shampooing so I didn't want to do it myself. I'm not sure what they used on the engine bay, but it looks awesome.

As for the wheels, they're 16" rims with 205/40/16 tires. Unfortunately I didn't pay a whole lot of attention when buying the tires and I wish I would have gone with either a 17" rim or a bigger tire. Once the Canadian dollar is worth a bit more, I'll be buying some springs to drop it a bit.

The battery is still going strong, even when it gets to -40 C or colder in the winter haha.

Here is the pic of the ziptied timing box I did



I routed the wires behind all those tubes and brought it in front to the MAF sensor. Just thought it was a little cleaner and that you might wanna give it a try

Looking good man, engine bay looks great.

With a drop the wheels won't look as small, a 45 or 50 sidewall would have been better but a drop will help for sure....nice work
