I searched for one but I couldn't find it. There are so many f'n abbreviations that we use on here every day so it would be nice if we could get a running list so that when I read someone's post it doesn't read like the periodic table.

Examples:
IMO -In my Opinion
CAI- Cold Air Intake

I'm sure RICO will have something interesting to say about this, but I'd appreciate if you guys could post some commonly used abbreviations.

Thanks!

Wide open throttle

I don't believe it stands for anything specific. Just an engine code. Like the 2JZ on the Supra or the 4G63 on the Evo.

 

How about NHBP...any takers?

 

NHBP is Night Hawk Black Pearl..... the color of the car lol

Nighthawk Black Pearl. One of the colors the Civic comes in.

TW = Taffeta White

GG = Galaxy Grey

AS = Albaster Silver

Honestly Fiji is too short to warrant an abbreviation. IMO.

And some people like to use Habi as an abbreviation for Habanero Red Pearl.

Let me fix it for ya RICO_ the FG2 and FA5 is the chassis code. The engine code would be K20Z3.
