Purple Drink

On the real though, i'm guessing your only talking about 92-95 civics. I put small fountain drinks, energy drinks, coffee, and whatever else. Is this tech or?

I ditched mine and got the optional audio console and put Ford Taurus cup holders up in my radio slot. If those suckers can hold a Slushee at 70mph swerving across 3 lanes of Chicago traffic, I'd say they're pretty darn good. (Long story involving an LS/VTEC block and my girl on the way home from Wisconsin)

About the only think an EK cupholder is good for is canned drinks. McDonald's cups, 20oz bottles, etc will all tip over, ESPECIALLY if they are full, no matter how slow you go around corners. I've gotten in the habit of putting my fingers on top of the drinks while cornering. It's like second nature now. Why the hell couldn't Honda have made the drink holders just a couple of inches deeper? Fragernacle bullsh*t!

I have an EJ8 and my cup holders work awesome. They hold anything from cans mugs and 24oz. Mountain Dew bottles. I don't have any problems with things falling over in them. Plus it has a sweet little spring loaded lid.
