look on the battery side of the fire wall. there is a hole that wires go through and it is covered with like a rubber type seal. that's how it is on my s14, i assume it is the same on s13. anyway that's where most shop installers put their wires through. it works, so just cut into it a little ( you have to take off the dash most likely to make it easy to get to) and put the wire through. a friend that can help you would be a great asset. when you're done re seal the rubber thing with electrical tape or silicone or whatever you think is necesary. you dont have to re seal it but i mean it's up to you. hope this helps.

i pulled the carpet back on the passenger side up against the firewall and drilled out into the engine bay. i aimed for a circular indentation (not easy to miss once carpet is out of way). the hole turned out alittle low in the engine bay, but i think it made it look really clean to have the power wire out of the way

theres one or two holes on the drivers side for the hood release...my fog light and alarm goes through there, they are pretty big...just run it through that and then to the passangers side.

thats what i did. I needed to install it for that DIY kill switch onhttp://www.autospeed.com/cms/a...9&P=1It works really well and I was able to pick up all the parts at radio shack. The total $$$ was like $40 becouse i needed to buy wire and splices. It works without a hitch so far.
