Cupholder- Revised Edition
 
Due to some concerns of drinks being spilled over rough roads or off road excurisions the revised design has incorperated some special components from Keebler Racing. The fully adjustable coil over shocks provide for a very safe and secure drink platform and can be corner balanced for driver preferances. The coil over option is by special order only.

Looks like Boge's. Ya got a Bilstein option? :D

stomachmonkey 06-26-2003 03:51 PM

You are one twisted individual.

I love it.

LOL Sell the idea to Bilstein, help them make a profit this year.

pwd72s 06-26-2003 05:12 PM

How did you DO that? LOL!

surflvr911sc 06-26-2003 05:21 PM

Coilovers. :rolleyes: I would never buy that piece of cr@p w/ coilovers.

Come on, a 911 cupholder should have torsion bars. You call this engineering creativity?

LOL, seriously that’s awesome that you can make jokes about all the crap you get around here. Keep the ideas flowing and good luck to you.

Bill Douglas 06-26-2003 05:31 PM

Yeah, I bet that puppy could handle some g-forces without spilling a drop with it's swing and self leveling capabilities.

Maybe put it to the acid test (if you dare) take your wife out for dinner and tell her how great she looks in that white dress, then pop a starbucks in the holder and go full speed accross a railway crossing...

I like it!

dad911 06-26-2003 07:26 PM

Would ya make one for my wifes bimmer? (cig lighter on bottom) The BMW cupholders are worthless!

Bob's Flat-Six 06-26-2003 07:45 PM

That did wonders for an otherwise dull cup holder, We like stuff with moving parts.
Maybe a couple of mini Fuchs with SO3's to hold the cup tight too? :D

Wayne 962 06-26-2003 08:36 PM

That is indeed, the ultimate comeback...

Could that possibly be polished out by Al Reed? I don't like the black finish.

MotoSook 06-26-2003 08:53 PM

Jerry, way to show your humorous side... :D nice!

cstreit 06-26-2003 09:05 PM

Souk told me about this the other day... ...and I thought (largely to myself) As long as it's plugged into the Cig lighter, why not use that power for some sort of warmer as well? :D

Better than struts, can you perhaps incorporate one of those miniature gyro's (from model helicopters) so that the thing is auto leveling?

Fantastic

banjomike 06-26-2003 09:46 PM

My car has Konis will this cup holder work with it, or do I have to get a conversion kit?

Seriously have you test driven this thing with a full drink?

scottb 06-27-2003 01:02 AM

Jerry: Glad to see you've got a sense of humor about the cupholder. Touche!

clnilsen 06-27-2003 05:29 AM

I'm Speechless..

That is indeed the Ultimate comeback.
:D :D :D :D

thanks for the laugh...that was hilarious!

RickM 06-27-2003 07:03 AM

Will you come out with a turbo model?...to keep our drinks mixed.

JMPRO 06-27-2003 07:21 AM

I am sorry, but the coil over option is back ordered untill Feb., 2006. It seems the elves at Keebler Racings fat little fingers can only make a few coil overs like this a year. But they do expect to move into a larger tree trunk for more room to expand thier production.

chibone_914 06-27-2003 07:25 AM

Great! It'll keep my beer from spilling while I'm runnin' from Smokey!

Randy Webb 06-27-2003 09:14 AM

Since the older 911s don't have a keg holder built into the front trunk (like the Boxster & 996), the proper way to carry beer is in one of those trail runner sport pouches. You hang it from the passenger seat and run the tube directly into your mouth. Another advantage is that you can fill it directly from your brew pubs cask pumped spigot, since beer should never be put into a bottle.

smoak 06-27-2003 10:16 AM

Jerry my coworkers want to know what is so d!@# funny. I am glad to see that the six pages of slagging you took for the cup holder (which I admit I piled on too) didn't keep you down.

old_skul 06-27-2003 11:17 AM

I'll take one with adjustable konis.

JMPRO 06-27-2003 12:16 PM

To answer a few questions, yes it has been tested-2lbs of ballast added for over 2 months of driving without a single case of seperation from the mount. One of the reasons its mounted in the lighter port is get it as close to the center of the car as possible where there is less movement of the car ,the other is to use an exisiting mounting place without drilling holes and such.Athought was given to making it out of aluminum and having it polished but that would have added to the cost and who wants something else to polish.
