[boostdemon]

Here are some definitions that I can think of off the top of my head, feel free to add any others you use:

LOL = Laughing Outloud
ROFL = Rolling On Floor Laughing
IM = Instant Message (like AIM)
PM = (board) Private Message
IMO = In My Opinion
IMHO = In My Honest Opinion
IIRC = If I Remember Correctly
IB* = I Bet <something> (usually sillyness)

[Captain Bondo]

BTDT- Been There Done That.
Took me a while to get that one way back when...

[own6volvos]

WTF "What the *uck"

[towerymt]

AFAIK = As Far As I Know

[Hank Scorpio]

AFAIK = As Far As I Know

Thats the one that took me forever to figure out! lol

[Volvo78GT]

PITA = PAIN IN THE ASS

DIY = DO IT YOURSELF

KISS (principle) = KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID

http://www.242gt.com/benchracer.jpg

BenchRacing means all talk, no real go/basis/reality. A disease that many of us fall to. I'm sure there are those with more colorful definitions.

[245gti]

RTFM...read the ****** manual! :lol:
BF* Big ****** whatever...hammer, screwdriver, wrench :?

[own6volvos]

BFG= Big *ucking Gun... used in Quake

[Captain Bondo]

Ahem,
BFG is from Doom.

Young punks....

[SquareD]

KTP=King Turbo Prick

haven't seen much of him around.....

[boostdemon]

^^ did he actually win that "whos a bigger troll?" debate? lol

[SquareD]

Yeah he smoked the competition with probably the funniest post I have ever read on turbobricks.

To bad the search function on the old board is so random and so useless or a post a link....

[gtlover]

I always thought IMHO was In My Humble Opinion. And IMNSHO if you're feeling full of yerself.
Also - BTW "By The Way", JK "Just Kidding"

my personal fav LMFAO - Laughing My Farking Ass Off

took me forever to figger out IIRC. International Internet Radio Conference? Insanely Intense Rectal Control? I just always said AFAIK.

Somebody needs to make up an acronym about Kenny.

[boostdemon]

yeah you may be right, about Humble rather then Honest... we should all boycot and just use IMO :wink:

TPAK = Tried Pulling A Kenny (in reference to jerry rigging something or retro fitting something from another car or appliance)

[Hank Scorpio]

TPAK = Tried Pulling A Kenny (in reference to jerry rigging something or retro fitting something from another car or appliance)

HOLY SHI*!!! THAT IS THE BEST!!!

ROFL

[Captain Bondo]

lol. I love the "or appliance"

IE "Guys I figured out how to replace my heater core with a General Electric Toaster oven".

[Captain Bondo]

[gtlover]

:stupid: LMFAO! And if you say it, it almost sounds like "2PAC". K-dog's crib is in da hood, right?

[towerymt]

lol. I love the "or appliance"

IE "Guys I figured out how to replace my heater core with a General Electric Toaster oven".

Usually the "appliance" is a washer/dryer, and the part used is the flat sides for patching up rusted floors.

What you should really do is fit a lawnmower throttle control with the picture of a rabbit on one side and a turtle on the other, for "high" boost and "low" boost. :lol:

[boostdemon]

[quote:05d13188f5]Usually the "appliance" is a washer/dryer[/quote:05d13188f5]

washer was what i was thinking about, you can use the water temp switches for activating things like a fan at about 170 deg. (used for the hot/cold cycle switch)

best stop here or this will end up a performance thread ! lol

[gtlover]

Don't even tempt me with using lawn mower parts - that's where I started working on engines. But...hmmm...you could rig the throttle control up to something like a heater control valve pressed into service as a g-valve and...

Are we giving you bad ideas, Kenny?

Oh, and another acronym - DEGT - Don't Even Go There.

BTW, I'd like to use that at some GTG halfway to BFE, right about the time they start talking about that "arsepit" comment.

[Hank Scorpio]

Oh this. run a dual stage mbc, and use some push button on/off switches and set them up so the shifter hits em. Idea is that you set it to low setting (for traction) in first and when you hit second gear, the shifter hits the button and viola your at high boost.

Ok, back to topic. This is one I'm sure we all know

God Da** son of a B****, piece of S***, no good .... which ends up looking like a string of these @*$(8 !(!)@ @()(!* )*(!)@ and so on. That means something really bad happened.

Oh ya, when your at that point don't slam you car door in anger, like I did. Breaks the glass.

[gtlover]

got down sat on a bench...farging bastages...arsepit...
futhermucker...britch...fark off...

[Volvo78GT]

:e-shrug:

[gtlover]

just expanding on doug's profanity. things I am wont to say just before imbedding a 15mm wrench in the garage wall in abject frustration.

or the guy at the gas station the other day, who managed to bust the window glass in his 245 closing the door normally. dunno how he did it, but he had some "colorful metaphors".

I think I'll do my dsmbc with an aircraft style toggle, with a big, red, safety cover - labled "afterburner" or something like that. or just the "go baby go" switch on the shifter.

Oh yeah, that's a couple more acronyms for the FAQ - MBC and AIC
I suppose you could put DSM in there for the folks who don't speak japanese.

[towerymt]

Oh this. run a dual stage mbc, and use some push button on/off switches and set them up so the shifter hits em.

Then wire up a contact switch to the reverse lockout so you can grab second, pull the ring, and shoot the NOS!!

[SquareD]

or you could move the od switch somewhere else and use the button on the knob :idea:
