RTFM= read the f*ckin manual
pardon my french...
all info put in alphabetical order, section added for internet slang so feel free to add to that as long as its not vulgar
i agree, is bulkhead firewall? lol im not sure, i know what the rest is, i too like the random words mateBlinx, you alphabetized the list
I think CDM, ABS, LCA, CEL and EDM (because I think honda sends mostly the same models to Europe) should go in the abbreviations section. B-Pipe, Petrol, and Bulkhead should also be added.
I also think that slang is part of what makes this site WICKED cool, I welcome the random international slang.
haha i did read it but i think the f word is needed as some people tend to ask questions which can easily be found in a manual.
Sorry for swearing
