I got mine installed and all wired up at KDR today. Totally stealth 
I still need to hook up the fuel pressure sending unit (waiting for a quick connect connector) and all I have at the moment are a handful of PM pictures.
I'll get some daylight photos tomorrow.

About a 3/4-1" hole in the center of the upper vent approximately 2-3" back.
Used a decent gauged copper wire fished down thru the hole ultimately between the wheel and coin tray.
It was then just a matter of taping the two autogauge connectors to the copper wire and gently pulling it back up thru the hole cut to get the connectors thru.
The autogauge plugs are about 1/4"x 1/2". I could see problems trying to get anything bigger routed.

Yeah, don't know if you ever saw this https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...12174#poststop but my connectors were about 1/2" x 1 1/4" each.
So if I understand where you put this hole and running the cables, you don't have any interference due to the depth of the rotating side vent?

Correct. I do remember seeing your monster connector. Not sure if it would fit. It might though with a little tlc... Doubtful the more I consider the routing job. It might get hung up manking it's way past the lower vent

Yeah, I took the chicken way out!
Would have been a good size rectangular slot, and you know it's tough to get into the area anyway. Guess I could have done so and then found a suitable gromment or lining(if you will) to sort of then close up the hole tight around the cable, but oh well.
Cutting that hole must have been fun!
