I have seen on a couple of other forums a section posted for new people explaining abbreviations used on the site. I am not sure if there is a list somewhere on 6GC already, if there is I haven't seen it. I think it would be useful to have a list of abbreviations so people don't have to feel stupid and ask what does that mean, or worse not ask and never know!
Anyways, here is a start to the list. If any of the ones I have listed are wrong let me know and I will change them. A/F - Air Fuel Ratio AFAIK - As Far As I Know. ATA - Air to Air AWD - All Wheel Drive BOV - Blow Off Valve BTW - By The Way BUMP - Bring Up My Post CAI - Cold Air Intake CAT - Catlyitic Converter CEL - Check Engine Light DIY - Do it Yourself DP - Downpipe DSM - Diamond Star Motors EDM - European Domestic Market F/I - Forced Induction FS - For Sale FTW - For The Win FWD - Front Wheel Drive FWIW - For What It's Worth FYI - For Your Information GB - Group Buy HID - High Intensity Discharge Lighting System IMHO - In My Honest Opinion IMO - In My Opinion JDM - Japanese Domestic Market LED - Light Emitting Diode LHD - Left Hand Drive LOL - Laughing Out Loud LSD - Limited Slip Differential MAF - Mass Air Flow MAP - Manifold Absolute Pressure N/A - Naturally Aspirated OBO - Or Best Offer OEM - Original Equipment Manufacturer OT - Off Topic PM - Private Message RHD - Right Hand Drive TRD - Toyota Racing Development TTE - Team Toyota Europe TTT - To The Top USDM - United States Domestic Market WRC - World Rally Championship WTA - Water to Air WTB - Want To Buy YGM - You Got Mail This post has been edited by WALKER: May 3, 2007 - 4:45 PM -------------------- |

All he's saying is that theres the same abbreviation for two different things, not what they are. I think you need to need to take into consideration the context, and that when talking about celica it'll always be "top mount". -------------------- |
