►official: what does that word mean thread.◄
I noticed a lot of people on here are from different countries and though we all speak English on this forum, we use different words to describe the same parts, so I'm making this thread to clear things up, i ask anybody to feel free to contribute:
Words that mean the same thing: Back box = muffler Bonnet=hood Boot=trunk B-Pipe= Section of exhaust piping between the header and axle back. Bulkhead= Firewall Cam belt= Timing belt Cat=catalyst=catalytic converter Coil over= Adjustable absorber CV Joint=drive shafts= axles Decat=test pipe Door Card= Door panel E-brake = Parking brake or Handbrake Four branch manfold= Header or Exhaust manifold Gearbox= Transmission Gear knob= Shift knob Induction kit= Intake kit Inlet manifold = Intake manifold Mitsubishi = unreliable Mobile=cellphone Motor= Engine Petrol= Gasoline or Fuel Rocker cover=cam cover or valve cover Rotor = Disc Side Marker Lights- Indicator Lights splitters=extensions Sump=oil pan Sway Bar = Anti-Roll Bar Windscreen = windshield Abbreviations: ABS= Anti-lock Brake System CDM= Canadian Domestic Market CEL= Check Engine Light CTR= Civic Type R EDM= European Domestic Market EMS= Engine Management System ECU= Engine Control Unit ITR= Integera Type R JDM= Japanese Domestic Market LCA= Lower Control Arm LSD = Limited Slip Differential NA or N/A=Naturally Aspirated RR=Rolling Road=Dyno=Dynamometer RTA=Rear Trailing Arm TB= Throttle Body UKDM=United Kingdom Domestic Market USDM=United States Domestic Market Internet Slang IIRC= If i recall correctly IMO= In My Opinion IMHO= In my Honest Opinion or In my Humble Opinion BTW= by the way This is all i can think of so far, please add some and don't say soccer=football

Re: official: what does that word mean thread.
To my knowledge a header has individual tubing, while an exhaust manifold is one cast iron piece.
Back box = muffler windscreen = windshield mitsubishi = unreliable
