I wanna put cup holders in my car! LOL Soemone help....

 

I use my console...

 

I have been thinking about that lately... But I cannot see a logical place to put one... unless I only let 1 legged passengars in my car...

 

get a old rotor from an old motor and put it on the pas. floor put beverage of choice in center 1works perfect 2wont move anywher 3when you beat ppl you can show them exactly what a rotory means

 

You also need a rotor housing to show people...is that where I can keep my nachos? Then I can keep the salsa in the center console and the nacho cheese in the ashtray. Works perfect...

Go to Wal-Mart and look for this cupholder. IIRC, it's called the Wedge. Fit's snug between the trans tunnel and the passenger seat thigh bolster. Doesn't really get in the way of the passenger unless they're really big. I've had mine for a couple years now. Works perfectly.

 

black dragon automotive sells cupholders that screw into the door, or anywhere else. I suggust screwing it into the carpet for no one will notice when you take it off.

thats awsine the cupholders from walmart. I know people who work there. Discount here I come! thanx you guys for the ideas.

 

did nobody notice the glove box lid has a place to set a cup on the back side?

 

HA! And what in the name of all that is Holy will *actually* stay upright in those!?

 

um, have you ever put a drink in those and tried to drive?

 

^ I have. It can be done....but you have to seriously drive like a gramma. That, and all of my **** in my glovebox wants to come out.

 

lol thats exactly what i was telling my self...i was wondering if anybody else had that !!



then drive like Initial D's Takumi !!!
hehehe,
its to tell people, if your drinking something, finish it then leave....
or tell the passenger to hold it !!!!!

 

The wedge is okay... I have one but the problem is that the wedge fits in between the passenger's seat and the centerconsole which puts it right on that wierd big tranny bulge. Sometimes it won't dig in well enough and when you break it gets more and more loose till everything spills. Even worse is that if you put it close to the centerconsole it interferes with the passenger getting his seatbelt, so it'll probably get pushed foreward and that gives it even less support.

 

I put drinks between the seat and console

 

maybe you could simply super glue some sort of ring to put around the factory "cup holders" so cups dont fall over when ur driven lol

 

The factory cupholders work fine if you don't drive terribly. I'm saying this and I like feeling acceleration around turns.

Here's how you get better at not tipping cups: Get an accelerometer. Put a sealed drink (so it won't spill when it falls over) in the cupholder. Put a bunch of crap on the dash. Turn until the drink falls over. Pick up something that fell of the dash just before the drink fell over. Drive with just that on the dash until it doesn't fall off anymore. You won't spill drinks anymore.

I got really nervous whenever my girl would put her coffee in that stupid cupholder, but it never tipped, so I got used to it.

(Note: I did this before ever seeing anything Initial D related and it is very close to how he learned control.)

 

The thing is, if you like "feeling accelleration around turns" the g's will knock it over. If you are driving even slightly hard, that is how it goes, whether you are a good driver or not. Everytime.

EDIT: OK, if you ahve a wide cup like a coffee mug, I gues it would be OK. But with anything like a fountain drink, there's no chance.

I still have my stock stereo.. (probably why my cars never been broken into or stolen, stupid kids) anyway.. Check out an older Ford Taurus.. They have a cup holder that is the exact same width, size, ect, as a basic CD player. With the stock stereo removed, theres enough room for a cd player, and this cup holder. They fold in and are out of the way when not being used, but with a press of a button two cup holder pop out. Might be a little difficult to shift though.. like I said, i havent tried it.

 

I find it ironic and amuzing that you like how the cupholder doesn't get in the way of the passanger, yet you say nothing about the big, obtrusive sidebars on your rollbar

 

so no one liked my rotor idea? ok ic

 

No, even pushing it moderately around turns (nothing close to slipping here, but more than most people do) her coffee wouldn't fall. I'm not talking a mug, I'm talking normal drive-through coffees.

 

I think the cup holder from a 626 works, too. Really anything with a single DIN cup holder works.

 

yeah those cup holders in the glove box dont do anything their not deep enough to keep the drink there while u drive

 

you dont want a rotor just laying around, in case of an accident, it could fly and crush your head , besides its heavy and takes a lot of space just for a cupholder.
