i pull too many g forces at any given time for spillable liquids to be allowed in the passenger compartment.

what are those two rings in the glove box? it bothers me, there is no way any human thought that they'd be good cup holders.

they're good cup holders as long as you're not moving. but i guess back in the 80's cup holders wasnt synonomous to sports cars

I got a Miata short shifter off of ebay for $30.00 to try and get some finger clearance for my Nissan Altima cupholder...Here is the result:

thats cool . i know now that the one i'm going to get will fit . i posted a thread about the one i found yesterday. here it is
ebay cup holder

RoughRex 02-23-06 10:22 PM

Are you sure this cupholder will fit...I considered getting one but decided not to b/c the space under the stereo is actually larger than a single din. You will need something to fill the extra space....maybe a small trim piece from a stereo install kit?

Is that the Voodoo knob? Mmm...

Call me a jackass but this is just silly, rx7girl (who btw should have mad respect for doing her own bodywork) was being the resourceful TEXAS women and gracing yall with her brilliance and you respond with a roll of tape? (just kidding)(about the tape not rx7girl), I dig the cup holder in the dash thing. but all of these ideas are limited I would say... does anyone know where they put the cup holders in a Jeep Cherokee sport? (a poorly designed plastic piece that "Clicks onto the pass side of the shifter bezel, however) 2 pieces of aluminum with some aluminum intercooler pipe. and bolt that to the Passenger side of the trans tunnel.
it would be next to your pass knee but... screw them. it would also be completely functional... you could even bolt it to the piece of the dash that the shifter bezel sits on.
You could even make one out of fiberglass… or carbon fiber!
You could put it on the floor and keep you coffee warm!

Nah, this is just a cheapo that I got off ebay...I bought it b/c it screws directly on instead of using set screws. Here is a link to the same knob but with Green numbering. Mine has red.

I like the rotor, but I don't have a spare one so I used a cd drive.

exactly what i though after reading this, also where would you put a rotor so it is out of the way?! next point is, this is a performance car and a rotor weighs close to 10lbs, people pay thousands removing weight not adding it.

Sideways7 08-07-06 05:32 PM

Wow, the cd drive is a nice touch.

I've got a whole pile of CD rom drives sitting around. Perfect. All beige though... black would look better...

How'd you wire it?

I cut a power conector from a computer and wired up a 5 volt power suply ( I used a uber bec http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=418633 ) to the conectors 12v to suply 5v to the logic side. then I tapped in to the radio power. after that you need to mod the stop and that's it is .

I use the center console since I don't have the lid for it... works perfectly as long as there's nothing else in there to drive my crazy when I'm trying to put a drink in there.
