ya......*sigh* its just hard sometimes to let go of a stupid idea sometimes haha

 

i took some from an old ford taurus i found in a junk yard. they fit right in if you have an aftermarket cd player. is slides out and has a lil metal rod that swings down to support the bottom. they fet in the way of your hand while shifting ut all you have to do is pushit from the back and not wrap your hand around it. they hold drinks very snugly, just not huge cups. and the cup hits buttons on the cd player. but overall a good investment.

 

Every time i get in the gf's 6 i marvel at her in-door cupholders. I was wondering if it would be possible to make or modify some sort of cupholder that would slide in the map holder and then hang over the edge. I think of it was mounted far enough back it would be fine to drive stick with it in. I dunno, food for thought.

 

They're not too bad. The side bars are at a good angle to use as an armrest....only uncofortable if it's been in the sun for a bit.

 

I screwed this "Canadian Tire" accessory into the glove box tray with a single center screw ..... it holds a small to large coffee cup though any corner or bump and fit in the space neatly with the glove closed ...... this holds my girlfriends coffee ..... she's MY cupholder

 

well my cars all beat up inside and the middle console with the security button and **** comes out anyways... so im just gonna take that out and either try to find something else that fits or try to make my own little center console with cup holders...

 

Yeah, I love those things. My wife always has **** in the center cupholders....
Maybe jsut go to walmart and see if anything looks like it could be made to work.

 

..

 

put drinks behind passenger seat and fold all the way bay to hold them in to place.

 

 

thats what i have almost, only mine dosnt have buttons.

 

wow you must have good shifter bushings to shift with those cupholders

 

or definitely a short shift kit, cause there is no way a stock throw doesn't hit the holder...

after that being said, that din unit is so good, i'll invest in one if i ever shorten my throws.

 

nope..no short throw, its a stock S5 shifter with a Miata ****.

In the middle picture the shifter is in 3rd and you can see it clears just fine.

there is about a finger's thickness between the shifter and the drink tray all the way out. Of course seldom is there a need for the tray all the way out... not unless you have a extra large drink

 

hey where did u get that icemark?????

 

+1 on that

 

yeah, post all those nice pics of how well it works and how great it is - then don't tell us where you got it.

 

too bad they dont make a cup holder for my 64 oz ampm

 

What I used to use was one of those plastic cheap single cupholders that's made to hang over a door panel or window. I don't have a picture, but it basically looks like a cup itself, with a handle on it that's open on the bottom. What I would do is open the glove box slightly, then hang the cup over it, then close the glove box. It holds really tight, is at arm's length...works perfect. Best part, you can find them at Walmart or auto stores for about two bucks.

 

Its a mid nineties Ford T bird cup holder. Din loads from the front. Pretty simple install.

 

I picked this one up off a FC at a junk yard here in Japan.
I dont think it is a Japanese Mazda only item. But it is definately going in my car soon.
it is not the same as that ford unit but the same idea.

 

So I ordered my 92 ford tbird cup holders that I won off ebay, so how easy is it too install icemark?

 

depends on your radio set up. I use the Mazda factory radio brackets for mounting my radio, and it is a tight fit there.

 

Check ebay, I found cup holders that fit into a standard DN slot. Of course, you will probably need a smaller aftermarket stereo to free up a rail. Took lots of time to scroll through 30 pages of ebay crap, but what else am I going to do? Statics homework?

 

Is that a new center console surround? If so, I've been wondering on their quality. I need a new one and was thinking of buying a new one from Mazda/Mazdatrix/etc., but I don't want to buy one if it's brittle like the old one.
