I'm still at school but i'm going to get around to it either this weekend or early next. I realized that spectre's renix cowl intake mounts right where i want to put my tube to the firewall. I think they designed theirs to work for c101 and non c101 renix's. Here's a pic of it and you can see from the c101 pick i posted earlier that it should just go right inbetween the connector and the wiper motor wire. I'll keep y'all updated as i get around to it soon. Name:  0206121346.jpg

UPDATE: So i got all the things i'd need to install but then just couldn't go through with it lol i couldn't see myself drilling a hole that big into my firewall. But i have concluded that it can work and all you need to do is go on the right side of the brake reservoir and go on the right side of the c101 connector. I'm selling everything as a kit new in the "Accessories" section so if you're interested please check it out as I don't have any use for this and would like to get some money back

What about the mass of wiring and conduit that runs along the firewall there? I wasn't sure if the C101 would get in the way, but I was pretty certain it would be a problem for the wiring. I'm trying to decide if I'll order the Spectre kit or if I'll have to do something custom. Any input?

Do this. Out and up with PVC then flex hose into the fire wall cost me about $8 and no issues yet.

That looks like an absolute nightmare for airflow with all those ribs. I'd like to use a HO Spectre intake since I have open cooling, but I've read that the mounting bracket is different.
