I need Cup Holders in my Vitara..

Anyone got any Idea's if any Vitara's came with Cup holders?

If So are the Interior panels able to be swapped???

Anyone have any Cup holders in their Vit?

I need inspiration..


I am not using those cheap plastic things that clip on your air vent... I am looking for a cup holder that will take those Large size subway cups down to a 360ml coke bottle.

97 and on Estate's had cup holders in beside the hand break. See if you can find one at the wreckers. The consoles are exact same so it will just be a quick swapsy. I have one in my 92 Vit... I'll get a pic for you tomorrow.

[magnat]

I have Power Windows... could be a slight problem there...

[magnat]

I am still up for Idea's...

Any one know of any Pre-fab Cup holders that might be able to be retro fitted???

[royce]

PVC pipe, pvc end cap, black paint and TEK screws?

Or don't drink in the car
You used to be able to get some type of thing from places like Superchep that went over the centre console area. Have not seen them for a long time but I don’t look for that. Might be worth a look at least?

[royce]

ive got one of them hiding my active crossover from prying eyes

good idea except they arent really deep enough to hold the drink and they fall over

Ok here is the pic..



The hole in the top is where the rear power window switch block goes.

[magnat]

Ahah.. now I just need to hunt one down and see if the Switch wires can be extended to there....

Where is a good place to start???

[sp1086]

Wreckers.. Or see you local Suzuki Parts dealer, might be able to get a brand new one!

[magnat]

What Part number or something do I need to Order???

[sp1086]

No idea of a Part No. Just goto the wreckers first I got mine including the front section for $20

[magnat]

Can you get 1997 Vitara Cup holders...


"Yes Sir can we have your Vin Number??" Um Vin isn't going to help as I wanna put cup holders from a 97 into a 93..

"Oh OK we will do a manual Search"

( on Hold for 4mins 27secs)


"Yes sir the part you require is, How can I say it without you slamming the phone down on me...... ummmm..... $94.50... (CLICK)

[sp1086]

Well how much did they want?

[magnat]

Read $94.50 !!!

[sp1086]

LOL Helps if you maximize the window...

hay guys i would also be very inerested in these, i have a 95 estate. i am also chasing the little scrw that goes inthe the 4wd gearstick to hold the knob on. has anyone got any spareys, or if u used something else, what u use.
sorry for hijacking the thread

[sp1086]

I just found a random fine threded screw in that container of random Nuts,Bolts,Screws that most people have sitting on the bench in their garage. Maybe a M8 about 10mm long would do the trick.

[bobbie88]

no worrys will have to go sus it out then. it doesnt jiggle around or anything..
Also, has anyone had any experience with coil spring spacers, i was reading on the net a little the other night. and they had 15mm front spacers and 30mm rear or something of that nature, just wondering what the pros and cons are on these.

[sp1086]

I ran spring spacers (anti-static rings ) in my Zook for about 12mths. They are a cheap alternative to a spring lift but can be used in conjunction with a spring lift to get a bit more height. The norm is 15mm front 30mm rear this will give 30mm of lift on the front & rear. All you do next is a strut top flip to get 1" of front travel back.

[bobbie88]

well i have intalled a 2" suzisport lift allround and ran the same struts up front as oldmate at the shop said that the strut that came with the kit is exactly the same, so their was no point, so my struts dont extend out to much as they are, do u think it will be noticeable with the extra spacer in it,

[magnat]

I am making my own damned cup holders...

[sp1086]

The strut top flip or the spring spacers will not make your struts stick out. The strut flip will give you 1 to 1.5 inches of extra downward travel to compensate for the exta lift you have either with the raised springs or spring spacers.

Stick your head i=under your guard with a torch and look at the top of the strut. then compare it to the pic below.



You should see that the pic above has the strut top up side down. Its a very simple mod to do if your adapt with a 10mm spanner, a hammer, a grinder and a socket set. You dont even have to jack the car up off the ground.

As for the spring spacers well they are not hard to fit either.

[Bruce]

Gee Chris, they are a nice looking spring spacer. Where do you get them from???

[bobbie88]

OHH CHEERS MATE,
i would be interested in how much u payed for the spacers(4 of)
i will need to pull the spring out to put the spacers in wont i?
any trouble while doing the install of spacers

[sp1086]

No no real hassels. If you installed your springs before then you shouldn't have any troubles. Just remember to pull the top rubber mount off put the spacer on the put the rubber mount between the spacer & the spring.

Bruce sells the spacers so give him a PM
