[mr-2-tyler]

does anyone have any ideas on how/where to possibly fiberglass some for our car i have a 91 n/a and ran into this problem about 2 days after buying my car well i have had it a few days and its started to bug me more and more

also i have a trunk release problem i cant get into it there is no cable to the release and the key doesnt work any suggestions on how to get into it im running out of room in my frunk

I gave up on trying to understand your first paragraph.

As to not being able to get into your trunk with the key, you probably have a valet key. You need a master key to be able to get into the trunk. If you don't have a master key, you can go to the dealership with the title and your vin to have them cut one.

Not all dealerships ask for the title, but they should

cut the hinge off .. lol i did that once

[mr-2-tyler]

sorry i ment wi have no cupholders and i wanted make some out of fiberglass but cant figure out where to place them

if i have the valet key would i be able to lock the t tops?

there is no pull cord for the trunk either

[Gairloch]

There's a good reason there's no cup holders in these cars. They're meant to be driven There are some options though if you're really determined. Do some hunting for cupholders here and you'll find 'em.

I don't know about wether the valet key can open the t-tops or not, I have a sunroof.

When you say there's no pull cord do you mean that it's been broken/cut?

There are some cup holders 1/4 din... is it really critical to have a cupholder? put that sh*t in between yo' legs.

If you have a non-turbo, the center console may work. There was a thread on here a while back about a guy who used a piece of wood and cut two holes for cups in the back of the console. Hard to explain but of you do a search it'll come up. That's a good place to fiberglass a cupholder.

If you're in a turbo with the center console storage box, you're kinda out of luck.

yeah what he said ^^^ ur back cd storage, when u take it off there is a flat raised spot where if u cut two holes and get creative u can put a cup holder. search it some guy did it and came out nice.

[Gairloch]

That was Ku-Sama

[mr-2-tyler]

well i just got hit by some ******* tonight who ran i found my car messed up after work...as far as the cup holder thing i was using the between the leg theory but i spilled it, no good but yeah if i decide to fix the car i will probably put some in back there it was THAT imortand i have a little ocd problem and it was buggin me if there was a reasonable place to put them since i take long road trips every couple weeks.

i have yet to check on the cord to the trunk but the whole gastank trunk peice is not screwed down either i will have to look if it got cut or not hasnt been to high up on the to do list and right now really isnt on the list anymore

Well you'll get it after you drive more often, or just put it between the door and the seat. or the armrest and the seat.

i had cupholder in the din under the radio it sucks, blocks radio controlls and in hard turns you can get soda all over you or your passenger, so now i just put it between the seat and the armrest, no problems

Use a 1/2 DIN Corolla Cup Holder. Put the DIN radio in the bottom spot, and fab up a 1/2 DIN block off plate above the radio, then put the 1/2 DIN Corolla cupholder above the block off plate. It'll be high enough it won't block radio controls or block you from changing CD's, yet it still holds your drinks perfectly fine.

Putting it between your legs only works if you have an automatic

try shifting with a super sized drink inbetween your legs!?

it usually spills n then you get it all over your crotch...lol

[mr-2-tyler]

yeah i do have a manual maybe im making too big a deal out of this for now but its just me i like having them but there really is no room for them posibly some sort of side flip out contraption in the door panelnot sure where exactly though

People make this out to be harder than it really is, it amazes me. Both 94-97 and 99-02 Corolla cup holders will work, like I said above. If you look at the interior picture in my sig, you can see the face of cupholder fully retracted inwards above the radio and the turbo timer.

[mr-2-tyler]

that would work but i have plans for that area i was researching the hks camp and the monitor would be going there for it

[metheores]

So...where the hell were you thinking of placing the cupholder to begin with o_O?

[mr-2-tyler]

that was why i asked haha im not sure i have a non turbo modle so im thinking between the seats or some sort of door flip out holder once i get hardcore into my interior revamp i will figure it out i was just wondering if there was a sensible place to put it that i didnt think of

what is behind the passenger side dash since there is no airbag?

[datguydeni]

mmm if you could set up a cup holder in the glove box, mount it in there... Like some other cars be interesting to see that.
