Acronym decoding?
Gentlemen, please forgive my ignorance but is there any cross reference for all of the acronyms used? I'm learning but frequently get stumped. Can someone let me know if I'm on track and add to this list so the newbies like myself aren't struggling to understand what's being said...here's what I think some of them mean...
NB= Narrow Body
MY = Model Year
FPB = Front Protection Bar
LWFW = Light Weight Fly Wheel
FS = For Sale
NA = Normally Aspirated
DE = Driver Education
IIRC = ????

Oh yes...
General Forum Acronyms:
IIRC = If I Recall Correctly (this one bugged me for a while!)
FS - For Sale
WTB - Want To Buy
AFAIK - As Far As I Know
IMHO = In My Humble Opinion
TIA = Thanks in Advance
--> and don't forget "SY" - that is "SPEED YELLOW"....these guys are in their own class of "crazy" !!
Slippery Slope Emergency Decoder:
LWFW - light weight flywheel
V1 - Valentine One radar detector (added)
RSR - "RSR" mufflers from Robin p-car.com website
PSS9 - Billstein 9 way adjustable shocks
HD/M030 - Billsteing HD shocks, mated with Porsche OEM sport springs setup (note there are also M030 sway bars from Porsche...as part of the sport setup)
ROW = "Rest Of World" - as in, everyone else but those in the U.S. (with ridiculous regulations and Porsche NA "specials") - for example, most modify their ride height to "ROW ride height" because U.S. 993's are jacked up due to bumper/headlight rule nonsense.
GB - Is either "Great Britain" (another "non-U.S." place) or "Group Buy" - this is where all the Slippery Slope Addicts/Junkies converge....just post a thread that says "GB: XYZ" - and see what happens !! lol...
FPB - Front Protection Bar (added)
DE - Driver Education/Experience (added)
LPMM is basically a homemade partial muffler bypass thought up by our own Leland Pate (as in Leland Pate Modified Muffler) (from Father of 3)
SSK = short shift kit
LSD - Limited Slip Differential
Rennlist Specific and Car Descriptions :
RL = Rennlist
PPI = Pre-Purchase Inspection
WOT - Wide Open Throttle
MY - Model Year
NB - Narrow Body
WB - Wide Body
SY - Speed Yellow (see above)
NA - Natually/Normally Aspirated (added)
SAI - Secondary Air Injection
CEL - Check Engine Light
DMF = dual mass flywheel
VCG = valve cover gaskets
ISV = idle stabilizer valve
OBC = on-board computer
VC = viscous coupling
HVAC = Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning system

--> more to come! (I will try to update this post to reflect other additions, don't want to "steal" others' contributions - but want to make it easier for people to get to the acronyms easily...and of course add in my "great, witty" comments...)
