Lol, I doubt timing would make a difference.
I haven't heard of many peoples car being "finished/ready".
They seem to come out every few months anyways. I reckon just go out, check out peoples rides, get involved with the car scene, whatever.
ON MY CAR...
I've gotto weld on a new rear quarter, front rail and radiator support, paint job, install a rb26 engine(or rb30det), turbo, exhaust, computer, interior, 2nd paint job and dyno tune... but oh well... 2010 would be much better for me....
