ah....ok I'll check the AE92's around the wreckers.
Hey admin..... There was something wrong when I posted the former reply - I kept getting an error notice & of course tried to re-send several times hence the multiple/identical response...
Sorry 'bout that.

So I've got my cupholder, and I went to install it... but there isn't anything for the screws to thread into! I must have missed grabbing a part, assuming that I already had something in my All-Trac that I did not! But I can always use a nut/bolt/washers to achieve the same effect. |

Maybe you have a different plastic console mount than my 88 has. When I take off the radio/console front bezel, there are two plastics tabs just below the radio, both of which have holes. I used these to match up to the same tabs that are on the cupholders; I put in screws into these holes, but I noticed that it fit just as well without using any screws at all. Screws do make it a bit more sturdier.

I also had nothing behind the mounting holes, like Rogue. So I ended up using a slightly larger diameter self-tapping screw. Obviously the self tapping part was a bit of overkill, but that type of screw has nice wide pan threads on it, and I've had no problems in the month or so that I've had mine installed! =)
I may end up taking the dash apart to re-wire a radar detector, if I do, I might switch to a machine screw and nut for something to do, but the self tapper seems quite sturdy! Weird how the tab was there with the hole, but no backing.
They *ARE* quite shallow, but they hold a Tim Hortons if I drive like a normal human, and not like I'm in a race...<ahem> |

I wonder if I could do something like with the Mk1/Mk2 VW Rabbit/Golf. There's a cubby (similar to ours) that is apparently a perfect fit for the cupholders from the mid-90's Ford Taurus fit in there pretty good with only some minor modifications. Otherwise, I'm sure there are other options. For example, I've seen some sort of cupholders designed for marine (boat) use, that basically would screw into the side of the console, if you didn't care how it looked. |

I've been thinking about this issue a little more, and I think what I might do is go to walmart and get one of those wedge cupholders. Then cut off a portion of the bottom, drill some holes in the side, and screw it into the side of the center console, on the passenger side (where that chunk of raised floor is). Wouldn't be pretty but it would be functional. Or maybe if I end up getting the MR2 seats, they might leave less space between the seats/center console, so the wedge thing might work as intended.
Also has a nice section in the middle I could do some interesting things with. I've been wanting to add in another power outlet (or maybe some USB ports, since everything I own charges via USB and I already use an adapter thing to charge my phone in the car). |

I, too, thought of something similar. |

I want to buy one of those carpet-y dash mats, and maybe sew a cupholder onto the edge near the passenger side. But it depends on how well the cover grabs the dash. I already have the cupholders, they were a set of four I think, didn't cost much... they're the type you're supposed to clip onto the door or somewhere. They also have a mounting screwhole, which I used to mount one on my riding lawnmower...  |

Jedz, the cubby yours uses is what I was thinking about in my initial post (when I was talking about the Mk1/Mk2 VW guys). |

I would love to get one of those cup holders! How wide are the circles for the cups? I wonder if I could fit my water bottle into one of those. |

I currently am using a cup holder I bought with a sticky bottom and put it in front of the shifter (auto). I can' open my ashtray currently but not too upset about that. I saw one of those that JedzWagn posted on ebay the other day. Got to grab one. |
