Changed the oil, power washed the engine and covered up the engine bay to wheel well holes on the left side. I put the Saturn wheel, 165/80R15 on just for grins. I was surprised it fit. Next I do the right side and grill block the AC condenser.

Tried 165/80R15 tires. 12% bigger, its like having another gear for the already struggling car, it was too much.


Grill partial block:
