Business Name Ideas
|

Some of you may already be aware that i was in Japan a few months ago, but i was not there just for the Auto Salon. I was making contacts for parts and half cuts and after market bolt on go fast bits.
The general game plan is to start bringing parts in for the enthusiast at a much more affordable price than the general importer (specialising in Toyota). There will also be a workshop icorperated in this plan which will do the whole conversion for you and it will be a drive in drive out service already engineered.
What i need help with at the moment is ideas for a business name.
Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure that due to legal reasons this will not be possible.

try to think of an original name, ill try.
forklift special imports
cut halves
japanese engines (simple, but what the hell)
big/mega saw halfcuts
super duper j-spec imports
dunno, i wish you the best of luck though, maybeye if i get my finances sorted i can scab your contacts to get stuff into melbourne, i know a couple of shipping guys, and if i could get a container load it would be worth my while.

If you want to do a few other types of cars other than just Toyota then you will probably need to be a bit open with the name. So even though you'll mainly do Toyota stuff you don't want someone thinking that is the only type of cars you do...you know what I mean.
So here are a few I am basically coming up with as I type (so some might suck, but that's a brain storm):
Rising Sun Racing
Kamikaze Kilowatts
Samurai Motors
Sushi Train Racing (Engineering).....get lunch while you wait... 
MMMMMM.......

Thanks to all so far, but youngy is right. Especially as a new business it would be silly to have half my doors of oppertunity closed, so a toyota based name would not be ideal.
Youngy some of those names arent too bad, thanks heaps.

Transplanters (or Transplanters Annonomous - TA)
Adaptive Engineering (used to work for a place called Adaptive Technology, can do so much with that name)
New Age Motors (can use lines like "We didn't have toothbrushes back when I was in NAM")

As sacrileges as it may sound you dont buy the cars as a half cut, but as a whole car, and most of the time they have nothing wrong with them. Then (prepare to cringe) importers have them chopped with a machine similar to a guillotine

try to go for something that explains your business, i cant stand when they ahve names that have nothing to do with engines and you end up forgetting it 2 minutes after you hear it...
another thing, make it something witty, that gets less funny everytime you hear it

if u r goin to have a drive in and drive out service just make sure customers know that it will cost alot
unfortunately everyone wants things done for niks and about 1 in 5 conversions probably go straight forward with no hassles
the budget usually blows out by a grand or 2 by the time u finish
doin conversions on import engines is never easy
theyre are many probs that could go wrong i know from my past experiences
but good luck with the new business
