on s14's, against the firewall on the passenger side there is a black sorta box thing up top.  I think it is part of the airconditioning unit.  Anyhow, a friend and i were trying to find a way to get some 8 (though u could easily fit 4 i think) wiring into my car.  Well, we found that there is an inlet into that black thing from the engine bay by sticking wire into all the holes we could find untill we could hear it in the inside of the car.  Regraldess, we got it in a hoel that leads to that black box thing, cut a lil hole in the black box, pulled hte wire through, resealed the black box.  and done.. just thought it might help u s14 owners that have yet to drill into their firewall.. this is a really easy way to do it.

any drawbacks? none yet... i'll keep ya posted.. seems to work well.
