EG DIY cup holders

[seadog]

I been looking for a suitable cupholders for my EG hatch for a while. Dont want those clip attach crap that u found in supercheap or repco so I keep looking.
Yesterday I found a best one imo, especially for $2 from The Warehouse.
Installed, tried, its awesome.
-To install it, remove the centre console that around the shift.
In one of the end, u found there is a part that u can take out, u know wat I mean, the clip where the original cupholders of EG VTI was found.
-Remove it by unscrew 4 bolts undernerth the centre console.
Place the cupholder on that, hold it by the stickies that come with the cupholders.
-Coz the surface is unbalance so the stickies can not hold the holder properly.
I took 2 bolts that I unscrewed earlier and tried to screw them through the plastic so that should hold the console and holder together.
- Dont worry bout **** up your orginal console by screw through them, there are 2 small hole on it already, suit perfect for the job.
- last bit but important, under the console is several cables so to avoid water leaking throught the hole of screw, I place a bit of epoxy on both side, where the screw is.
-put them back together and enjoy your beer.:cool: :cool: :cool:

[Boban]

sorry guys n00b question, didn't you have cup holders there already??
Sorry mine has them and i never actually looked at other hondas to see what's there

[seadog]

@fuzionz: yup I did, work perfectly, but in only can hold a medium McDonald drink due to the space under the astray, nevermind though coz I never buy a large meal. :)
@boban: only EG VTi has them,(correct me if I'm wrong), Cxi or Gli dont have them either.

nah I dont have drink holders in mine, kinda sucks cause it's basically summer now

[Boban]

cheap hondas, can't put cupholders into every civic
have any of you thought of putting a vti one in, i don;t think they are that expensive (i saw a console for $15) and you can fit a LARGE McDonalds drink in there :p

Yup think of it already. Just not lucky like u, I couldnt find anything for sale.

[rtsnoz]

the standard drink holders are really good! I don't think i've actually seen more usefull drink holders - they wont let anything fall over etc...

I believe they are in Si and Vti's.

wat i used 2 do was get a medium mcdonalds cup and fill it about 3cm from the top i think... otherwise it would of been higher...

put the cup in the holder and take on corners... the water moves 2 the edge of the cup and if i ever spill a bit i get so cut about it...

i also used the water in the cup 2 practice driving manual more smoothly... fill it almost to the top and try to drive around busy roads and learn 2 use the clutch and manage the gear changes more smoothly... this was back wen i was a nooby at manual...
