OK OK, never mind the "sports cars don't need cup holders" argument. What do you guys do with your coffee while driving in the morning? I commute to a train station, so I keep the coffee in the center console, with the top up (keep hitting it with my elbow though). Then I'll drink it on the train. But it's a lousy spot if you're drinking and driving (only talking about coffee here). And I am NOT putting a cup of scalding hot liquid between my legs.

And you automatic transmission guys need not reply...

I found some cup holders that clip into the air vents. They work pretty well. Sustained hard cornering (cloverleaf on-ramps) can cause some spillage I got them at Canadian Tire. I think I have a picture at MK2-mod(egroup) in the photos section under dohc82.

I bought one of those bean bag type cup holders that sits on the passenger floor - close to the left front corner of the passenger seat. It accepts different sized sodas, coffee cups etc and it doesn't tip over...ever.

When I have a passenger in the car, it really isn't a problem then either. I didn't want to drive screws into my door panels, or mount anything permanently...so this was the best solution I could come up with. Bought it at some autoparts place like Kragen or Pep Boys I think.

One of these days I'm going to fabricate something that looks OEM, sort of like what Don Culbertson did in his Mk2. I think Shawn or Chris Eng would know more detail on how this was done, and what parts Don used. I have yet to see Don login to the forums so...

I used to have this type of cup holder. I bought em at the rice shop in the mall, They work really good. I had two of em until they were stolen along with my supra last year. The only downside to them was the fact that they could only hold up to a 24 ounce drink.....Anything else would probably break the vent thingys.

I would buy them again though.

I finally found a MKIII cup holder cheap on ebay and I'm trying to modify it work on my car.

 

[Flyin' Hawaiian]

I have one of them MIGO stainless steel mugs and its just skinny enough to slip between the pass. seat and the center console. I have to slide the seat back a bit to get it to fit, but it never falls out or tips(although it looks like it'll tip forward).
Some day I'll get one of them cup holders that I can just throw on the floor too...

 

[kicknsupra]

i got the drink thing form wallmart for 3 bucks works all right

 

[zank]

the center console is my cup holder :rockon: . What about those two round things on the glove compartment door, kinda looks like Toyota was gonna make some sort of cup holder there

 

[WadeT]

Most cups fit perfectly between the drivers seat and the e-brake handle. I drank coffee 7 years and quit last year. I feel much better now too.

 

[SilverMk2]

If you don't mind drilling holes I think the best thing is to get some of those fold out cupholder for boats and RVs and screw 'em to the side of the center console around the shifter. Of course the best cup holder you can get would be an attractive person in the shotgun postion , though they tend to be pretty expensive if you know what I mean :lol:

 

[dogstar]

*drinks bottled pop, and doesnt have this problem*

i agree, attractive shotgun cupholders are nice, and expensive, but they can also do many other things to assist in car driving.
no, nothing dirty, but tons of stuff.

ill use the same solution in the supra as i use in my truck, get one of those soft sided cooler bags, and belt it into the passenger seat.

Just out of curiousity...you said you stopped drinking coffee and you feel better now. I've been drinking coffee for a long time too - did you eliminate caffeine all together? Like...no sodas etc?

did you ever try this racer?
my friend has an 89 and i noticed that on his. It looked pretty sweet. But from the looks of it, it looks to be too big, like our console is smaller. I'll have to take it off his and actually try and put it on mine.

I used to drink anything with caffeine, even popping those NoDoze pills through college and graduate school in an effort to keep awake for 18 hours a day and it never bothered me, and never really helped keep me awake during a really boring lecture either. But it became a habit if not an addiction. Somehow when I reached about the age of 32 I started having trouble sleeping and my doctor told me to cut out caffeine completely. It took awhile, like nearly a year, but my sleep pattern finally returned to normal. Now I drink decaf beverages at home and wherever available. I can't have any caffeine after about 3 in the afternoon or I'll have trouble sleeping that night. I know there's a lot of college students on our wonderful mk2 list so I advise you not to do what I did. It can come back to bite you as your metabolism changes in your 30s. I suspect the real reason Wade feels better is now he can get a normal nights sleep with proper REM cycles and all.

Trying something new-Bought .99 cent holder from Schucks-broke off part that hooks over door-took Short machine screw and screwed it under drivers side vent right above speaker grill-coffee is at my left hand and cup holder doesnt move w/door-works alright-and screw fits perfect w/no damage-Mike P

 

[n_et_o]

I think those are for when they car isn't in motion, like using them as a tray, kinda like on an airplane. I could just imagine going to the drive-in and using that thing as a snack and drink tray LOL.. :lol:
