Square it between the seat belt latch, center console, seat, and you.

 

no food ever in my fd and only drinks can be bottle water nothing else

 

went to super autobacs today and picked up a nice card flip-open style cupholder for 2.99. looks cool and you can fit it right on the center console. doesn't have fancy silver or type-r **** on it. just a fold open square that turns into a cupholder.

 

I don't allow anything but bottled water in my FD. and if it isnt bottled water, then it stays closed, and must be in a seal-able container.

But I am also a ***** about that stuff.

However, the little idea for a small flip open cupholder is pretty good.

 

I use this one that I made from the old Mercedes unit and adapted to our third gens. I used to make them for sale. You can see more here....http://webpages.charter.net/cardmarc/intstial.htm

We have two FD's and the wife insisted on a good holder in her AT (not me). I have a MT so not so needy...but now I have one and can't live without it.

 

it works very well

 

I carry my cup holder with me aka "legs"

 

I use these I made for me and my wife.....we each have an FD and use them daily (both the cars and the cupholders)......
pics on my webpage, too.....http://webpages.charter.net/cardmarc/intstial.htm

I used to make them for the old RX7 list members.

can you make me one?

 

I want one too!

 

^get the group buy goin!

 

i saw recently that someone was making a replacement for the storage compartment next to the radio. When opened the drink holders would come out. I think the taurus had something similar. Our Saab has one that flips in and out. Real low profile.

 

Wait, cupholders didnt come with your 04 rx7?

Damn that sucks.

 

I just put this cup holder in the FD.

+2 to wife

 

I use my friend Mike Rotch.

 

between my legs but it must have a screw on cap FD's are for driving not drinking(or eating) in

 

Youve seen the hats that hold two cans with the straw, yea thats the one no spills no drips just suck while you shift!

 

i had them in my 91 and 93 Taurus SHOs. All of the older fords have or were available with them. It was a single DIN peice with a coin tray on top and a cup holder tray on the bottom. More than likely it can be retro-fitted into any DIN slot. I use both my slots so I can't try it myself but someone else should pick one up from a junk yard and try it out. The only crappy part is that the coin tray doesn't like to stay shut all the way after a while.

 

While one is in the 7 there is no need for a drinks and such things.....

 

I found a carbon fiber, black gloss, black matt, or silver single din compartment that has two cup holders in the bottom drawer and either a coin or container drawer on top. I like it and they look a lot better than an empty bin under the radio.

if anyone is interested i can buy them out here and ship them to the states, but i have to go all the way to hiroshima so there has to be enough people to but them

let me know

 

real sports cars dont have cup holders. hence the fd, has no cup holders

 

^didn't you just say to start a group buy for the cup holder by Cardmarc?

I like his cupholder, but I like the idea of using a cleaned up rotor as my cupholder. looks like I have a new small project once I get my car running again.

 

I think he was making a genenral statement not making an argument against them.

 

Umm, you forgot to post both of MY pics... https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=154
