WTF did you say?

OK, I admit it. I'm old, I'm tired, yet I'm trying to understand. I'm not sure if 1/2 you guys are astrophysicists and the other 1/2 engineers, but you'all sure seem to understand each other. The acronyms are killin' me and I'm at a loss as to where to find translations. Suggestion to help newbies like me - how about a section just alphabetically listing acronym translations - something I and others could print & refer to. Like any new endeavor, one has to learn the lingo. I really want to improve my understanding of the car I love. I want to improve it as I rebuild it if I can. I can see that many (a few?) of you REALLY know what you're doing, so I want to absorb all I can from you. Help me to learn, please! Oh, and if it already exists, forgive me but point out where.

Mant thanks!

Check the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) at the top of the 2nd gen section. I believe I put in there what all the acronyms used with RX-7's mean.

Good luck man, you will catch up quick!!

Suggestion - can you change the heading - I hadn't stopped there as I wasn't looking for thread & pitch info currently - got to open all the unlocked doors I guess.

I'll think of a title that will be more fitting, feel free to throw some titles at me too.

Vex: don't even think about it.

Edit: DJ already changed it but it didn't change the displayed title.
