Trying to find a place in the firewall to run it through to the back of the car without drilling holes, can't find anything, Can anyone reccomend a location, or will I have to go under outside, and drill back in or just drill through the fire wall to begin with?

Any recommendations are Greatly Appreciated, Diagrams are even better :)

Don't go outside of the car.  Keep it thru the firewall.  Disconnect battery neg. terminal while you're probing at the firewall.  Use something like a coat hanger, wrap the end well with electrical tape so it doesn't cut into anything.  You may want to raise the front end up on jackstands and look at the firewall from the bottom engine side to get an idea of where to go through.  If you find any bare places, locate the area from the passenger side and pull carpet/pad out of the way to drill.  First hole needs only be big enough for the probe.  If you see the hanger emerge on the other side, redrill to specific grommet size, wrap power wire onto probe, and push through.  Place grommet over the wire and leave it loose, then secure into hole after complete install of wire.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Its it a manual or auto. transmission?? if its auto you should be able to drill through the firewall where the clutch normally goes.
