There's not much room in a EF, but there is a change tray, and though it doe'nt hold much, it will keep your change from moving around.

Either in the ash tray or in that little container on the left side of the steering wheel in that container.

Problem solved. I did the same in my prelude. Change everywhere...

I use my pocket! I tried using different comparments but I just get so pissed off hearing them rattle. But If I had no choise I would put a little rubber mat in the ash tray and use that so it doesnt rattle so much

Where is the tech in this?

I guess just don't "launch hard or power shift" and you won't have a problem. You are going to make your car wear out prematurely.

I keep my change in a little pencil bag between the seats...along with a pen and some chapstick. I take it out to autocross.


If you want to use the dash or the slots for holding stuff, you could try some of the non-skid toolbox lining they sell at home depot or Harbor Freight.

dude. definitely just put the change in the coin pocket to the left of the steerwheel.. if u need quarters for a toll or something. u can just set three quarters er whatever in the lil coin din next to the tray?... heh i used to take the toll alot.. now i got a toll tag.. but also the teg console swap is a good idea too.. but i'm pretty sure thats what the lil compartment is fore.. doesnt really organize ur coins or anythign. but it works.

I've had that exact problem at the track. I used to duck tap that sucker shut at the track, only takes a second. If you have that problem on the street, welp, the other suggestions sound good. Have to look into the teg counsel thing.

Exactly! If you are launching or power shifting that hard to make your change fall out....your drivetrain is CRYING!


The only time change would fall out if I kept any in my car would be at the sticky track when I have my M+H slicks on. Even then, I pre-load my clutch and drivetrain right before the launch and I dont powershift.

You guys shouldn't have change in the car anyway. Arent you guys donating to the Ronald McDonald house at the drive thru? hehehehe
