it depends which side you wish to run the power cabling, you can go through the right handside because there is a hole just above the pedals that is easy to get to from both inside the cabin and the engine bay, ive never tried to run the cable down the left hand side.

Easy...drill a hole wherever there is nothing in the way on either side, put a rubber grommet in and run it through that....

if the car is an auto there should be a rubber bung where the clutch would go through the firewall. put a hole in that and feed the wire through there.

It is about 4cm round and is where the rod on the cluch master cylinder would go. Have a look from the engine bay, you can't miss it.
