I have seen on a couple of other forums a section posted for new people explaining abbreviations used on the site. I am not sure if there is a list somewhere on 6GC already, if there is I haven't seen it. I think it would be useful to have a list of abbreviations so people don't have to feel stupid and ask what does that mean, or worse not ask and never know!

Anyways, here is a start to the list. If any of the ones I have listed are wrong let me know and I will change them.

trunk mounted intercoolers are for Mr2's. Thats the only place they have them. PM a guy name Glitch01 here, he has a sick mr2 with a trunk mount, he could send u photos.

P&P - port and polish

All he's saying is that theres the same abbreviation for two different things, not what they are.

I think you need to need to take into consideration the context, and that when talking about celica it'll always be "top mount".

GTFO- get the eff out
