Well, it doesn't take him 13 seconds to pick up the ball of wax, stroll out to the car and read the entire note either. Why would Arthur put a bomb in the ball of wax, which is inside of the house, and leave a note about it in the car? It's obvious he wanted to let him know what was coming, why else write the note? How could he have been sure that he would have had to time to get out to the car and read the note before the bomb went off? I didn't actually time it, but 13 sounds about right to open up a car door, get in, read a note, and start to panic. I think the only significance the ball of wax has is that it shows how Steve was trying to usurp his life.

Yes, from the time Steve opens the car door to the time the bomb explodes is 13 seconds, so clearly the filament is attached to the car door. The ball of wax is just symbolic of Steve's desire to emulate Arthur.
