Common Forum Acronyms - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

scottfab · 01-10-2013

The purpose of this thread is to document acronyms we're using such that there is one place to go and lookup or add new acronyms.

By convention, please cut and paste this list into you comment and add more acronyms. It shouldn't be hard to come up with 90% of them in short order. Please insert you addition in alphabetical order. Product codes such as FX3 probably do not belong here.

ABS = Anti-lock Brake System
BG = Bowling Green (KY)
C4 = A Corvette MY 1984 to 1996
CAB = Callaway Aero Body
CCM = Central Control Module
CHP = Crankshaft Horse Power
CHMSL = Center High-Mount Stop Light
DFCO = Deceleration Fuel Cut Off
DOHC = Double Over Head Cam
DRM = Doug Rippie Motorsports
ECM = Electronic Control Module (or is it Engine Control Module?)
ET = Elapsed Time
FBI = (Fast Boyz of Illinois) ???
FSM = Field Service Manual
HVAC = Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
IH = Injector Housing
INFL REST = Inflatable Restraint (air bag)
LAB = Lingenfelter Aero Body
LPE = Lingenfelter Performance Engineering
LSV = Lingenfelter Super Vette
LTPWS = Low Tire Pressure Waring System
MY = Model Year
NCM = National Corvette Museum
ODB I & II = On-Board Diagnostics one and two
OP = Original Post or Original Poster
PKE = Passive Keyless Entry (1993-1996)
RWHP = Rear Wheel Horse Power
SES = Service Engine Soon light
SGC - South Georgia Corvettes
TT = Twin Turbo
VATS = Vehicle Anti-Theft System
WAZOO = Washington (DC) Area ZR-1 Owners Organization

PS think of this as a new "Two Word" game except it's useful and is an acronym instead of two words.

Jim.
Your additions are indeed useful.
And they are complete with definitions and
further the cause of explaining things to those new to the forum.
