A thought for the mods

99BlackBetty · January 7th, 2009, 02:29 PM

I am fairly new to these forums and car knowledge in general. I have searched almost every forum I could but I haven't found anything in the way of an acronym/abbreviation info thread. Perhaps one of you very knowledgeable folks could make a thread with as many acronyms as possible. I like to think I am a smart guy but sometimes I can't even infer a meaning to what they might be. This would greatly increase my, as well as any other noobs, information and understanding while browsing these forums. I haven't written any of them down so I will edit this post when I can think of or find examples of stuff I don't know as I go. Thank you for your time in reading this and if a thread already exists please let me know.

Edit: Some things I have stumbled across.
S/C- Supercharger?
SCT
EGR
IAC
PCM fuse
HID foglights
FRPP
TOB

well, it depends on what radiator you have. if you have the hydrolic one, i would go with the 3.73. if you change the plug wires and run NOS then definately 6.10!!!
