EK Cup Holder Installed

Hey OzHonda,

I just thought I would show you guys my new cup holder :D
This is my solution to the EK CXI cup holder problem, and it cost me a whole lot less time and money than finding a JDM part.

The cupholder that I have put in is one out of a 2000 Dihatsu Sirion. It was the one that was built into the dash, and conveniently is very similar in size to the Din in the shift console of the EK Civics.

Here is the Final Product:

It holds cans perfectly and looks sorta stock.
Let us know what you think!

wow cool.
looks like it fits perfect!

can u fit a large maccas cup in there?

looks like u struggle to put normal cans in, and it look liek quite an effort to take out?

Thanks for the feedback.

You can fit 2 medium maccas cups in there no troubles, and cans are fine. But I think anything larger than a medium maccas cup would be an issue (no slushies :( )

It isnt really a struggle to put cans in, You can put them in and take them out with no issue.

looks like perfect fitment !
is it?

other than that, good find!

To put it into the car, i had to modify the bracket a bit.
There is a small gap at the very top (less than 1mm), but apart from that, it sits nicely.

looks great, but would you have to tilt the can before taking it out?
which means you gotta drink like 20% of your can, before u start using the cup holders or else there'd be spillage hahah

not bad though

That is a slight flaw in the design of the cup holder. But if you have a sip of the drink before you put it in, there is no real problem. It is only a very slight tilt that is required to move the can.

innovative :thumbsup:

nice shoes :thumbsup:

awesome idea mate :)

where can you buy the sirion cupholders?

how much do those parts from Hyundais go for?
Its not that hard to find actual EK cup holders

look awesome. might go and sort out one for myself

cheers

It is either that, or hot coffee or frozen slurpee between your legs?

I know what i would choose.

It only took one drive home where I got followed home by a police car with a hot coffee between my legs to decide that the cup holders were a good idea.

:)

Yes, ek has the worse cup holders. Mine costed me $30
if it doesnt fit a large macca's cup, its not a cup holder. i ended up hacking mine. fitted a can of primer.

it fits a large maccas cup on the right side only.

yes stock cup holder placement is terrible.

You might be able to flush mount a cup holder into the console box right behind the handbrake (the ones with no handrest). Just need to find the right cupholders

sorry to bump an old thread, but I really those seat covers that OP has.
Anyone know where to get a similar one or are they aftermarket seats,

Hey mate,

I got those seat covers from supercheap auto about two years ago? They came in a pack with mats and all the other crap. I can take more photos of you like? They still look pretty good after 2 years of use.

Would be awesome if u can get a pic of them for me.
