Whats the easiest way to get the firewall??

I can't get the gromit out... Am I being to easy?? Should I just pull it out???

Anybody have any tips? I need to get my Split Sec box wires out to the engine bay.

I have a 2005 vert...

Thanks,

Joe

So other people know...

I cut a slit in the grommet behind the clutch in the top left...

I untwisted a coat hanger and put it through the hole into the cabin...

I taped the wires and vacuum line to the coat hanger and pulled in right through...
Just make sure you don't pinch the vacuum line...

What I did was to get some silicone grease and a smoorth, rounded blunt end wooden dowel. I then carefuly pushed it throught where the main body harness enters the cockpit on the drivers sit. It works great, no cutting or fussing.

I had to cut a hole because I have wires running for the alarm and there wasn't any room to fit a vacuum line and all the wires....

Which unit did you go with? Is yours a track car, or primarily street driven?

Once you get it working and have played with it, let us know your results and impressions. Maybe a before / after dyno with A/F would show the results well.

This just caught my interest because I'm used to tuning entirely through software with my GM cars and the only manually adjusted "tuner" I ever used was a Nitrous Mastermind on a friend's car.
