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

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

Yeah the bonnet thing had me trippin when I first signed up. I was like "WTF is a bonnet?" I soon figured out it meant hood.

Dino-Spumoni · 12-12-2007, 07:41 PM

To my knowledge a header has individual tubing, while an exhaust manifold is one cast iron piece.

Back box = muffler
windscreen = windshield
mitsubishi = unreliable

way2fastforu · 12-12-2007, 08:26 PM

splitters=extensions
mobile=cellphone
toyotas=bad choice

a long time ago that was correct, but now most oem's make there exhaust manifolds cast tubular and still refer to them as exhaust manifolds. like stock 96 civic EX its a 4-2-1 cast tube manifold.

thanks everyone, your info has been added!

DwP02 · 12-13-2007, 10:03 PM

blower can be a supercharger as well, not just a turbo... but one common one that new people to the scene might not be aware of is
CTR- Civic Type R
ITR- Integera Type R
Side Mirrors- Wings
Fender, Side Marker Lights- Indicator Lights
JDM- Japanese Domestic Market
USDM- United States Domestic Market

Some people might not know what these abreviations mean.
