Thanks! If anyone knows of more and would like to share them please post them up and I'll add it to the list.
I was lost when I first heard some of these. I remember the first time I posted pictures of the SRT-4, one guy said... looks like you have a BFMIC with that mesh there. I was like BFMIC what?!? I take it that means Big Front Mount Intercooler lol. Slowly but surely I learned some terms. Still open to learn a lot more.
Thanks for posting. I wonder if we'll ever see DCX used again? Wow! Seems so long ago, already. LOL! Nice job. :thumb3:
This is great, very useful! Now, I don't want to sound like an idiot but hey Ron, can someone do this for all the abreviating with regular words and sayings everyone uses? Being a newb to the forum world I don't know them all, some like pita and imo and omg I do, but others I still can't figure out, some of the longer ones like rotglmfao and others. Anyone?
We have a thread for those, which you can find here: http://www.srtconnection.com/forums/showthread.php?t=839 Thanks for the input, please share it on the other thread. Thank you!
