No problem, Im guessing you have added wiring. You must have a insane sound system

I see your wiring issue now my friend, takes 2 to install ucr anyways, one to make sure no wires are in the way, while someone drills a pilot hole from the bottom.

the seats are removed along with the lap belt bottom anchor; the door sill trim panels popped out, and then the carpet is lifted up. The wirking hardness is located by metal tabs, lift those and the wiring harness out of the way.

second person checks wiring. Once the bolt holes are piloted, a unibit is used to enlarge the holes. Drilling from the top down for the car interior will help you avoid drilling into the wiring and help as hot metal shavings will be everywhere and shower you if you drill from underneath. Some blind holes front and back mounts are unavoidable, and have to be drilled from underneath the car.


Rust check is sprayed on, and the top interior bolt plates inserted into the UCR which are located by clamps along the pinch weld,

the main fuel and brake line protective plastic harness on the drivers side is dropped down out of its clips , pulled back and secured, to facilitate installation. Once installed the harness is replaced, and the protruding nut heads slot into gaps in the plastic harness.

it is a big help when the owner helps with the install lol

Air/oil separator. Keeps oil out of IC, piping, off valves. There's a huge thread somewhere on it.
