Drilling hole in the firewall

I just picked up a Innovate LC-1 wideband O2 kit and need to run the wires into the car. Where is the best place to do this?
Thanks,
Ron

When running a large-gauge wire from the battery to the amp, I used an existing hole behind the battery and under the lip of the windsheild.

also, if you drill straight down through the battery compartment, in the right spot, you'll come out in the passenger footwell...

I lucked out when i installed my radio amp - there was already a rust hole there! just pushed the wire through, filled, and presto.

When was the last time you changed your timing and balance belts and/or cam chain and tensioner?
