I added some cup holders to the Supra FINALLY (pics)

[Jer]

If you're like me and have owned a Supra for years now and every time you have a drink you have two problems... cold testes satchel and soggy floor mat(s). Well, problem solved! I got these folding cup holders off of eBay and with the use of four 1" self tapping screws and a few minutes time had some pretty nice looking cup holders. They are very sturdy and look OEM like they should have been installed from the factory. Here's some pics so you can see what they look like and where I mounted them in case you wanted an idea on where to put them (please excuse the mess because it's winter and not much cleaning takes place):

Here's the driver's side cup holder. It's low enough that it needs to be closed to access the fuel door release or hatch release but it's not a big deal because it's rare that I use either one and the amount of convenience I get out of this will far outweigh the inconvenience of moving it every now and then.

Here's a picture of the same holder upon and holding a standard size soft drink cup w/straw (man I loves me some yard bird) and you can see what I was talking about with access to the release levers. If you put it higher or further forward to allow access you will have more issues with your leg and the cup it's holding though so it's the best place for it IMO.

Here's the passenger side cup holder. It's closed and you can see that there's nothing that it gets in the way of. The flash makes it stand out more than it really does in real life. The funny part is I told my mom about it an hour before picking her up for lunch and she leaned down to put her purse on the floor and didn't even see it until I pointed it out to her. So they blend pretty good and remind me of the old fold out ashtrays that cars used to have from the factory but larger.

Last picture to show you the passenger side cup holder with a Slurpee cup in it. The base is 4" x 4" so it can accommodate pretty large cups and this is about the largest cup that I use. I often drink from large Mason jars and even tested to see if one would fit. It does but not real well so I'm not sure I would use it for that. Should hold just about everything else just fine though.

i hate the S2000's cup holders... how do those hold regular cans?

[Conrad]

nice....

[M@]

Kick ass. Very simple for a world of headache relief. Can't complain with that. :)

[ryanman]

I gotta get me some of those, looks nice.

[M@]

I gotta get me some of those, looks nice.

For the Lambos or the Ferraris?

[Dave_L]

I bet Weston is gonna get some for his horse.

[ryanman]

Anything, would work perfect on my boat.

[M@]

Which one?

[Dave_L]

"It's not a boat...it's a yacht." :D

[ryanman]

The only 1 I got, Kingfisher 3025, yeah, pretty much a yacht.

[M@]

What happened to your $900,000 race boat?

[Dave_L]

What happened to your $900,000 race boat?

He lost it in a race to Vin Diesel.

[M@]

On pinks?

[ryanman]

No, purples.

And it's my dads...and it's at his beach house in TX.

[Nightfall]

He lost it in the divorce

[Evil_SpeedRacer]

Yikes. Is this thread about cup holders, or lifestyles of the rich and famous?

Nice cupholders BTW ;)

[Nightfall]

Along with the SRdoesntexisT8

[ryanman]

Along with the SRdoesntexisT8

Ya, you're right, it got traded in for an 08 Expedition.

[Nightfall]

I had a NSX-R but I traded that in for my bicycle.

[Jer]

i hate the S2000's cup holders... how do those hold regular cans?

Here ya go, just for you. The top part is adjustable so it will hold about anything you can throw at it.

[M@]

Ryan, come out and race me on Pinks All Out in your Muffstang. I shall embarrass you in front of all mankind.

[ryanman]

My muffstang would blow your doors off.

[Nightfall]

Diet Rootbeer. :barf:

[M@]

My muffstang would blow your doors off.

Are you sure about that?

[Jer]

Yikes. Is this thread about cup holders, or lifestyles of the rich and famous?

Thanks! Jeez, this thread went to $h!t before I could even reply to it. :guns:

[ryanman]

Are you sure about that?

Yeah, 110% sure.

[Nightfall]

Thanks! Jeez, this thread went to $h!t before I could even reply to it. :guns:

It's HAI...

[Jer]

Diet Rootbeer. :barf:

My wife drinks it. It's actually diet cream soda which isn't too bad. I don't drink out of cans much and had some Bud Light but as I reached for it I could see some bonehead drinking and driving and wrapping his shit around a pole and then suing me because he say the picture on the intrawebs and blamed me for saying it was alright by posting the pic.

[Jer]

It's HAI...

Well get a room you two. Someone might actually care about sweet sweet cup holders!

[M@]

Yeah, 110% sure.

What was your Slowbra's best time again?

[Deceptakhan]

What was your Slowbra's best time again?

It generally takes 15 mins to prep it to leave the showroom.

Jer, those cupholders look really good? I'm gonna post this thread on G2IC, us G2 integra guys have very little love on the cupholders. My spot is between the ebrake, and have soggy carpet around there.

[Brandon]

Long sentence ya got there. I had to read it 3 times.

[Deceptakhan]

Perhaps he got excited.

[Jer]

Long sentence ya got there. I had to read it 3 times.

D'oh!

Probably should have read something like this:

I don't drink out of cans much. I had some Bud Light but as I reached for it I could see some bonehead drinking and driving and wrapping his shit around a pole. He would then sue me because he saw the picture on the intrawebs and blamed me for saying it was alright by posting the picture.

There, I even corrected some misspellings which may have added to the confusion.

If you're a Seinfeld fan, it would read more like this:

I don't drink out of cans much!! I had some Bud Light but as I reached for it I could see some bonehead drinking and driving and wrapping his shit around a pole!! He would then sue me because he saw the picture on the intrawebs and blamed me for saying it was alright by posting the picture!!!

If you're like me and have owned a Supra for years now

Looks sweet dood. Although the only Supra owners on here are you and Andy:)

Yes?

Sweet?


I'm Ron Bergundy? :D

We're the only kewl doods left huh?

[ryanman]

What was your Slowbra's best time again?

When it was still just about stock and running stock tires? 11.21@127, that was with only 450ish rwhp, it's at the 800~ mark now on motor/charger, I've also got some juice on top of that.

[M@]

And on the other hand, you're also lying. Stock Cobras go high 12's bone stock, you tard. "Just about stock"? Alright, so I'll give you a mid-12. Either way, bullshit on the 800+ mark, and bullshit on you even owning the car. Come to Colorado and race me, pussy.

[ryanman]

:rofl:

Just about stock meaning, a K&N filter, a pulley and a tune.

Does that look stock jackass? That's a 2.4 KB blower on top of a 4.6 that has more money in it then all your cars combined values, stfu, I'd blow your doors off.

[riceburner700]

[Brandon]

Check out the engine in my F50.

Haha.. you beat me to it. Let's see a pic of you in front of this SAME engine holding a sign that says HAI and your username or Brandon is a douche nozzle or something like that. Until then, you're a poser.

[Brandon]

I'd go take a picture of me holding a sign in front of it saying Jer is a douche nozzle but my camera is broken.






haha I beat Ryan to a typical POB excuse of his.

[V8SpankR]

Ahhhhhhhhh,classic HAI.:guns:

Good for you, my pic came right off my camera.

[M@]

Oh! I'm convinced!

I think what we're looking for here is proof of something actually in question. ;OwnEd;

If you're still stuck on seeing my F50 then you're just too n00bish to know what's really going on.

[stu]

Jer, why didn't you mount the cup holders on the inside of the foot wells? I was looking in my car and that's where I'd put them. You have a great idea by the way. :)

[Jer]

You mean on the insides, either side of the tranny tunnel?

[stu]

Yeah. When I was looking at it, it seemed like my feet would never be in that area, plus you could get in and out without having to step over the drink.

[Jer]

That seems like a better idea but your leg won't clear it with a cup in it. I checked that first because it's where I wanted it but your leg just won't clear it. On the outside it doesn't change where you rest your legs while sitting at all.

[stu]

I can see that, because you tend to lean toward the middle of the car. At least you thought of it.

[Jer]

Your inside leg is much closer to the tranny tunnel then it is the door sill. It just wouldn't work but I agree it would make life easier getting in and out. I did look at it first but quickly gave up on that placement.

[Denkigroove]

i honestly dont like the idea of anything being under my feet as a driver. but if there is a spill i guess it would be easy to clean compared to making a sticky center console :)

[ryanman]

It's not under your feet, look again.

[Denkigroove]

yup thats what *I* consider under my feet or, in my way when im driving with a chance to fall out :guns:

Trust me when I say that you aren't going to have issues w/this being in your way. When you're in your Supra next set a cup on the hatch/fuel door release and you'll see where it would rest. It's basically tucked right in against the seat there.

As for safety, if I had a nickel every time I spilt a full drink that was either in my lap between my legs or next to me wedged in with stuff in the passenger seat I would probably be at least $8.35 richer. I almost run my car off the road every time it happens trying to catch it and/or clean it up quickly on my way to pulling over. Trust me what I say this mod was as much for safety as it was convenience.
