I have a hole drilled thru the fire wall about a foot above the footrest (next to clutch pedal). Fished everything thru there without any problems.

Yeah, all my wires are through the firewall up by the clutch pedal too but when I installed Kris's turbo kit, it was much easier going through the boot around the wheel.

or you can go through 2 other places. one is on the passenger side it is where alot of the original wires come in from the engine bay. it is down the firewall about 1/2 way and there is a rubber boot over it you can cut the boot and feed wires through there if you need to get wires through on the passenger side, also on the drivers side there is another location which is not so easy to get to but is super stealth so you can keep your wiring clean and outta sight. if you remove the splash shield from the drivers side wheel well and look into the fender towards the door you will see an area where all these wires are coming out from, again this is where the original wires go through, this one is a little harder to get to, but it is the same type of rubber boot as the other side. if you run wires through here then you can bundle them up within the fender and then put the splash shield back on and the wires will be all hidden.
okay, that's all
