another creation by vroom . (cup holder) write up

[le_ryan]

OH yeah, both the S14 and S13 lids are for sale in my sig ..

[sommmatt]

Nice work vroom. I really have to see you how it turns out while actually driving, i'd be afraid of my elbow knocking the drink or something when I'm shifting, or some stupid crap like that.

[le_ryan]

can u take a pic of the front of the s14 arm rest, i wanna see how well i did mine compared to the interior king, lol...

were you able to get it without those folds? i tryed and tryed, buy had to live with those 2 there.

[R6_240sx]

Ill admit, the S14 lid is a bit harder to stretch then the S13 lid.

BAH, I KNEW IT!!!!!!

I was trying to tuck it in nicely as possible and it got to a point where it was literally impossible, so I said f*ck it.

Sh*t man I was about to say if u got it to tuck in perfectly, I wanna know what the hell u did, lol.

[le_ryan]

if i would have kept going with it, i prolly could have got it, but yeah, it was getting annoying lol

[R6_240sx]

yeah man seriously, i was like no way in hell im spending more than an hour putting a damn padded armrest on my car, lol.

[sommmatt]

Man, vroom, you should have 240 owners drop their cars off, let the interior get vroomerized, and charge a nice fee for doing so.

That'd be fine by me Im actually tying to get cash through some of the local guys, fixing up their interiors, i've had a few requests from glove boxes to arm rests, to even interior painting .

you're going to move to CT right? haha...I have a project no one wants to do: the DASH!

[le_ryan]

lol easy money to me .

[srpowered240sx]

lol easy money to me .

interiors are easy, but easy money to me is cat stealing. what you do is steal some cats, make sure they have tags with addresses of their owners. cage the cats, and send ransom letters to the owners. now just wait until you get the money you earned. the glory part is once you collect, just let them out a back window, cats will find their own way home, thats the beauty of nature.

[tjmhillz]

nice u never cease to amaze me lol.. wat do u have brewing next??

[night240]

damn...pretty nice cup holder

or you just wait for them to post up a reward poster, and wait a few days and then call the number.

Oh yeah, and PS:

My name is FeintMind, I am the first member to do a cupholder writeup. And I fully approve this post.

In fact, Im getting a new coupe this Thursday. When it comes time to do the cupholder mod, I think I might just do this one.

Edit one more time: Vroom, you are a God.

[Asmar]

Wow... That much trouble just to hold your soda...

[le_ryan]

1 hour of work > a lifetime of spilling drinks between your legs

you tell him ryan!!

[sommmatt]

I'm at such a crossroads. I like the position of the ash tray cupholder, but unsure of how to make it smooth and OEM looking like the console storage cupholder. gah

[le_ryan]

look at the location of the ash tray cup holder, then look at the location of the holder on the lid,less likely to interfere with shifting, even more less if you make the holder to the rear of the lid.

[sommmatt]

Yeah, it's just more that I'd rather lose the functionality of the ash tray than the console lid. (like when a drink is in it) I dunno I'll have to think about it haha, making a mountain out of a molehill.

[le_ryan]

heres about 15min of work, buy one from the yard, $5. then slap it in and see how you like it .

just drill out some holes and throw in the liners .



My boss was riding my back the whole time ......

ill post back once this one is padded and covered.

[le_ryan]

Done ..

the one in the rear will be for cans, and the one in the front will be for bottles or fountain drinks.

Also, the one up front is made of soft rubber, so its not bad at all to rest your elbow on. (from a pontiac sunfire )



Im not condoning these drinks in the car .....

even fits a grande Taco bell cup !!

and thats that .

The S14 padded dual holder already sold lacally lol, but i have 2 padded S13 lids and 1 S13 padded single holder lid for sale in my sig .

vroom how confident would you be driving around with a pop can in those shallow cupholders? The back carpets in my escort started out grey and now they're some nasty grey brown from all the spilled drinks :P

[le_ryan]

guess you missed this pic .. if i feel ill be driving alittle rough, then i ll put a can in the front .All i have to do is cut the bottom out the cup holder, but these were from my other ca, they worked fine in it .

[sommmatt]

Whoops, I did miss that one. The University's internet is fairly slow and timed out on a few of the pics. My bad! haha.

[240sxvaj]

nice!
