Being an rs2000, you really want to run it along the passenger side chassis rail so it ends up right next to the starter motor, on the inside of the rail held on with P clips.
Then punch a hole in the floor somewhere near the shock tower and take it up into the boot, make sure you put a nice thick grommet over the wire where it goes through the floor, as a chafe through here could end up with a fire or a big bang!
Edit: sorry, I see you already have it there next to the fuel lines. I wouldn't worry about it being next to the fuel lines, you'll only get a spark if the insulation gets rubbed off and it touches the body/chassis, and in any case, the fuel line shouldnt be leaking. Make sure you protect the battery cable well from any sharp edges. A good trick is to split rubber hose and slip it over the battery cable to give it some extra protection.
