Abbreviations and their meanings
I've noticed that some ppl=people don't know what some of our abbreviations mean. That "some ppl" refers to "me" as well. Can some of you fill us in on some others that we don't know!
I'll start it:
BTW= By the way
WTF= What the fack!
FYI= For your information

Si: Sports injection
SiR: Sports injection Race
ecu: electronic control unit
Hybrid: any car with a motor swap
JDM: Japanese Domestic Market
sohc: single over head cam
dohc: dual over head cam

OEM - Original equipment manufacturer
Ford - For old retarded drivers
Pontiac - Poor old newfie thinks its a cadillac
NOS - nitrous Oxide
And I'sn't it variable valve timing and elctronic lift control, not lift electronic control. I'm not sure, but I thought that was it.
