where\'s the hole in the fire-wall (03\' zx3)?

First off, aprreciate all the advise with the underdrive pulley, the belt that mac gave me didnt fit. apparently they say that it fits all year models, but from what I've heard mac is imfamous for screwing that up... those bastards. I had to go to napa to get a new belt, but now its installed and works like a charm.
But anyways, back to my question. I cant for the life of me find a hole in the fire-wall for running wires. right now I temperally have my soundsystem wires running in between the drivers side door and the hood. It looks ridiculous. Appreciate any help.

Drill a hole underneath the fuse box in your engine bay. that's the only safest spot I found when I drilled mine. I'll post some pix when I get the chance

duck underneath the dash by the pedals and find the clutch pedal, above/behind it there is a green plastic bracket. just above the green, you can fold back the insulation carpet crap and you have a very nice point to drill upto 3 half inch holes. it's just under I think the hood release cable. Make sure and put grommets in the holes. This point is high enough to not tangle things up in the factory underdash crap but you can still get a drill up under there. On the other side, they come up high under the fuse box where you can't see em. Good luck, not too difficult. later doods

In Car Entertainment Forum Link, Audio/Video etc.. for your ride. You almost have to drill somewhere for proper wiring.
