How about a FAQ on abbreviations
How about a sticky with common abbreviations? Just some I've seen recently:
OBDII or OBD-II. On-Board Diagnostic system. CEL: Check engine light. TPMS: Tire pressure monitoring system |
Good idea! Start building one for us, and we'll make sure it gets integrated into the FAQ that Zoom44 is working on.
|
WOT: Wide Open Throttle
|
dsc:dynamic stability control
tsb:technical service bulletin lsd:limited slip differential tcs:traction control system dstc:dynamic stability and traction control ok ttyl |
SA/FB=1st Gen RX-7
FC=2nd Gen RX-7 FD=3rd Gen RX-7 FE=RX-8 |
FI: forced induction
NA: naturally aspirated |
Omicron, this is a good start. Everyone can post abbreviations as they think of them. When Zoom44 is ready to update the FAQ, give me a heads-up and I'll alphabetize the list.
