ok every single person i have talked too, even people in the scene, think that team lucky sevens is either too goofy, too childesh, too gay or too immature, everyone thinks team captail sevens is the best, it refelcts our locartion, sound mature and make more sence

I have to agree with this...I think the name is way to weak and not nearly agressive enough....Besides, you have a known fellon on your team now....HA HA HA HA!
We're a car team not an Irish Bingo team....lol.
I got the same feedback from a few people I know on the site as well and they liked the idea of working in the location as well....We need to rethink this.

True! true!
Ok, well i do like either Capital 7's or Ottawa civic 7's. But i think Capital 7's would be a better name.

Thinking of a cool, mean yet meaningful name is tough. I am drawing a blank.

"capital 7's" sounds too boring.

sorry to play devil's advocate, but I think we need something with more spice. more rice. more japanese flavour (come on people, we drive japanese cars -- sorta)

Perhaps it's the initial D talking, but everyone in the show has really vague names that mean nothing but sound cool.

for instance:
Night Kids
Redsuns
Akina Speedstars
Emperors
Project D
Electric Blue
etc


I dunno, maybe I'm too picky

wait, another team name of my friends cousin: Blazin Kidz

see, it means absolutely nothing, but it sounds cool.

we need a name like that!

ARRAY: What do you know about ICE draining a battery in a car. How can you get around it? I was thinking bigger battery, better ground and if possible a better alternator. Did you have to make any special additions to run your system? I met this d00d with huge system and it keeps killing his battery and wearing out the alternator....Any ideas?

First thing without a doubt is Alternator and Battery. You can get Capacitors (1 or 2 Farad) but that allows for more of a clean, constant flow of sound(harder bass). I mean keep in mind, with capacitors you are using your battery and therefor your alternator to prime it with juice.

A new ground kit never hurts anyone, but if it was installed right, there isn't a need...but definitely a want!!! lol

To give you an example, when I owned my old '87 Golf GT, I blew my alternator to pieces. Well, my system blew it. I upgraded to a 90amp alternator and it was smooth sailing from there. Seeing that I have a relatively new ride, my alternator and battery is fine for a few years. BUT also I do have my RMD display to make sure I don't push it too much ...to often. And my capacitor just helps with the crisp bass.

In conclusion...I recommend getting a new alternator and might as well get a new 'stronger' battery at the same time.

i want a pumpin system, but i don't want to give people another reason to break into/steal my car

also, does this guy have underdrive pullies? I have them, and when my A/C goes on, my lights dim (when the compressor spins up).

there isn't as much current goin through as their used to be, but screw it, it's worth the power gains hehehe

you might want a pumpin system but I know you don't want what comes with it and that is.....WEIGHT!

I would love to build a custom system but I just don't want the X-tra weight in the car...

Rating on our alternator...don't know....But I can tell you that you are doing no harm with oyur system...to be frank...I am barely doing any harm.

To do damage, you gotta push it hard...often. And have(like Pharoh said) a HUGE SYSTEM!!
