Thanks folks, a few of these I've never been able to decifer.

tt/TT turbo timer or twin turbo depends on context of message


Someone should really put a glossary of abbreviations together. Newbie's and oldtimer's (read as older than dirt) sometimes have trouble picking up on some of these.

Leslie

[CJSREDPRA]

Another common one for those of us that have Red 85 - 86's.

SDR.... Super Deep Red (for those of us that are too lazy to spell it out). This is the factory Toyota paint name that came on the 85 - 86 US Spec cars.

(FYI, just recently found out that Canadian 85/86's are called Royal Red).

Sometimes, I'll refer Terra Cotta as "TC". Depends on how lazy I am.

Can't think of any other commonly used abbrev's for paint names at the moment.

TSRM: Toyota Service Repair Manual, aka: The Big Green Book. There is also a seperate Electrical Wiring Diagram manual that goes with it.

This is a example of a 85 TSRM & Electrical Wiring Diagram that is currently on EBay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=34233&item=2438091227

August 81, there was a MA61 Body/Chassis manual that was published. Pop's up on EBay on occasion. There is also a VERY rare 6MGE Supplimental Manual (Blue & White), that has only showed up twice on EBay. Archie Bowles (AJ) has one of them.

[AJ]

The 6MGE Supplement was a disapointment very lacking, not what you expect from an engine manual.

Really glad I didnt pay alot of $$ to get it.

[85midnightsupra]

what does ftw mean again, i always forget

[Tanya]

ftw = for the win or f@#k the world

[fairon]

How about DIN or double DIN - as in radio mounts?

DIN = Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V.

Yeah, seriously. They're the German equivilent of the ANSI (American National Standards Institute). If you remember really old keyboards (before USB, before P/S2) they had what was called a DIN connector. It's becuase it is actually DIN 41524. It's just a standard for production that was implemented by the DIN organization.

DIN size car stereo mounts are actually ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 7736. Double-DIN just means twice as big.

DIN = 180mm x 50mm; Double-DIN = 180mm x 100mm

NERD ALERT!! WOOT originally came from (as well as many others) online gaming meaning We Owned Other Team. But for most people now, it simply is just an expression of joy, like WHOO HOO!
