Acronym List

Solus · 05-12-2009, 08:13 AM

Ok guys I sit at work all day reading this forum mostly because I really don't have a job when I am at work for the time being. Point is, in going through all the posts I have noticed a whole lot of acronyms that may confuse a lot of people that are new to forums/internet lingo. Maybe we could start to compile a list of them and sticky it in here so if people see it they can just come look at see what it is?

A lot of them may seem like common sense to most of us e.g. CAI=Cold Air Intake but I guarantee there are people just now coming to the whole scene that simply do not know. Just a thought.

Here is a start to it I know there are lots more but I am tired lol.

Bhp would be brake horsepower. Engines were originally tested on a brake to determine power output.
