[MZ-N10]

anyone interested in a carbon fiber cupholder kinda like the one in the vx02.....my dad knows a owner of a company in china tat produces sinks and tubs and stuff for the bathroom. ill see if i can get him to do a carbon fiber cup holder thing and how much tat will cost for the mold and etc....

I cut some stryrofoam to fit the square hole, holds 12 oz cans and small to med size fastfood drinks and coffe cups with out spilling any of them or launching them into the dash.

cheap and does the trick

yea but it doesnt have the look of carbon fiber...i just want to know how much it would cost to have a mold and all...if dont one really cares to get it i can always get it custom and all tat good stuff....

thought about this this weekend.

where you have the shifter and 4 wheel shift, extend it to the right with 2 cup holders.

but we can try to get Ron to make something

that isnt a bad idea...but i was thinking of having the whole thing remade...and have the cup holders. but tat would work if remaking the whole thing will cost too much.

Here's a quick sketch that's been in the back of my mind for the longest time. It's not pretty. Just a quick thumbnail sketch of getting the idea out. Once I establish my shop in the new location, I'd like to venture more into making this idea into reality.



I'd like to integrate a possible inset lcd bezel right where the computer cover w/ 3 ribs is located. The whole surface of the console would be in the same level with a subtle sectional curve throughout the length. Then, something similar to the audi tt shifter, have an aluminum ring w/ screws inset where the 4wd shifter would be. And as for the a/t shifter, an elliptical pill shape surface would intersect the surface/side of the console adjacent to the 4wd shifter ring. As you go towards the armrest, two cupholders are integrated on the right side giving way to the e-brake cavity on the left side.

I may have this whole set broken up into 2 or 3 separate sections depending on the final design and engineering.

yea tat was basically what i had in mind...only not as complex with the lcd bezel...etc....

A few more detailed sketches...

Hey Ron,

Sketches look great. Might I suggest that you make the pieces totally modular, so that if the buyer doesn't want the LCD piece, he can get a part that holds additional gauges instead?

I've always thought that the center console developed for the VX4 might make a neat project. It has a shroud that goes up the console and places a screen at the top:



I would also buy a cover for the passenger airbag if it could be made to blow apart when inflated.

Ron's sketches are basically where the cupholders in my car are. To the right of the handbrake is a good location.

Here's a closer picture of the VX-4 console (I like the LCD mounting also):

Nice sketches Ron! I would definitely be interested in that.

Here is another pic of the VX-4 center console:



... and 2 pics of the VX-02 center console (my personal favorite):

can you find out teh guy's name...in chinese or english...my dad probably knows him or does business with him. a section of my dad's company does taht bathroom stuff. i dunno how many people do that ish but im guessing not too many plus my dad's company is pretty big.

just thought it would be interesting if theyre linked somehow

[ScubaSteve]

wouldn't the guy's name be the same in any language...?

... Heck, if you can make it out of the OEM plastic with the leather grained texture for less money that would be fine as well. i really like the idea, and if you can get this done at a reasonable price I am interested

Don't forget about the secret "stash" spot, anywhere easily accessible but hidden would be awesome! Wait why the wink, I'm serious!
