I searched but only came up with alternative uses of cup holder. I just got the SC400 and had hard time to figure out how to mod the center console cup holder bigger. I am a hardcore coffee drinker and must have my coffee in the morning on the way to work. Yes. I tried to look for smaller mug but the smallest mug still won't fit in the holder. My current coffee mug only fit 1/8 of an inch inside the holder which I had to force it in. I almost got free hot coffee stains this morning (three times) on my pants.

I found the alternative cup holder that hang on the inside of the door. I'll quit drinking coffee before I have that "thing" in the SC.

Have anyone came up with an idea yet? I would be appreciated that you can show me your idea.
Thank you,
Tyler

 

After a few years of trying to use the center console upholder I finally bought a pricey used but very functional OEM side-radio cupholder that folds out. It's not perfect but it's a much better solution than the center console holder and it folds away when not in use.

Then again I have a manual and find I can't shift as confidently when a cut of coffee is banging my forearm. This is a much less pronounced issue on automatic SC's.

With the side-radio fold out holder I still firmly believe you need a coffee travel cup that seals very well. Again, maybe not a problem with SC's on a soft stock suspension.

 

If I was a serious coffee drinker I would try a short strip of heavy duty velcro on the passenger side of the console and a strip on the cup. If the velcro contact patch on the rounded cup was too thin, I'd mod the cup to have a small flat section.
Heavy duty velcro is no joke. It can hold a small human up on a wall. Don't ask me how I know ;-)

 

SOLUTIONS ON THE INTERWEBZ!!!

 

see, this is what happens when japan brings cars to the US, we cant fit are stuff in them lol

 

you could shave the cup holder down, then reinforce from behind with some fiberglass or liquid nails. just a though. i can do it for you with my old one, no lid though

edit: 3D PRINTING YO!!! find a 3D printing place, scan it in, have the guy enlarge the hole and reprint! BAM!!!

 

When I had my interior and a cup didnt fit, I just pulled the cup holder out and set the cup in its place. Never failed. Pop it back in when the drink is done.

 

^^^Do this. Seems like the most reasonable solution.

 

I didn't know that you can pull it out. I will try it. Thanks.

 

I drink redbull 8.4oz and I'm sick of it sliding around in the big azzz hole. Is there a smaller solution???

When I made my shifter surround in the rx7 I made a redbull sized cup holder and a Newport pack sized holder. See attached, don't have finished pics but here is a near finished product

 

^^^ Can't be that tough to build some sort of grippy insert to go inside the cup holder. It's much easier to scale a hole down to fit something smaller than it is to go the other direction.

 

Does that cup holder not come with all models?

 

nope, it was an option!

 

My temporary solution until I find a better one. The small/bottom part of the TacoBell cup fit perfectly inside the cup holder. Hey, I need my coffee in the morning. Better yet, it's free. Sorry for the dark picture. It was taken early in the morning.

 

Lmfao ^^^ good solution
