who here has cupholders?

i want to know who here has custom cupholders in their car? if you do can you post a picture of your work/what you did? i'm pretty sure people are going to say that "a true sports car doesn't have cupholders" or "sell the RX-7 and buy another car" but i don't care for remarks like that and would appreciate you not to post stuff like that, thank you.

There was a thread a few weeks (maybe a few months?) back about what people used for cup holders. I'll see if I can find it.
Edit: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...cup+holder+mod
I just wedge mine between the seat and center bin.

Here is mine. I love it..... coins and cupholder. It works fine with cans and smaller cups (no big gulps). The only draw back......make sure you drink some out of the can first, otherwise it will splater all over (specially when racing).

Mazda did that because you aren't supposed to drink and drive... anything! Those cup holders are for standing still / parked!!

I think those cup holders come out of the pre 96 taurus... the 89-94 maxima guys like to use those too since they are the perfect single DIN size...

Go to a junk yard,take the pushout unit out of a mazda 626 like a 94 model,and it will fit in the tray under the stereo,a little drimmel work to the piece but works ,fits and looks good.

i don't know if i want to put my cup holder under the stereo. mainly because i think it would get in the way while shifting, no? i think the "wedge" is the best choise right now because it doesn't get in the way when shifting or the path where my arm travels when shifting.

how do you attach those thing anyway?(screwing, sticking, etc.)

It just wedges down between the pass seat and the console.
