LOL I had zip ties on my S14 back then too. Also have one or two on the Miata right now as well. The Subie is zip tie free so far.

Legit. I love for all my wiring to be neat and tidy. I used some just yesterday to mark some wires on a pump I had to change out so they would be phased correctly.

The wires werent labeled and I wasn't sure if it mattered which order they were in so I played it safe and marked them with zip ties.
