Acronyms

[White Mule]

Is there a place for a listing of Delica commonly used acronyms?

Example:

EGT =
ECU =
WVO =
LSD =

etc.

It would helpfull in many ways I think. Maybe arrange them alphabetically and place them in Wiki?

[loki]

it would be helpful too if the built in search engine would search for them

How about we pay someone to embed a google search box onto the website, I will donate $20 'cause this sorry excuse for a search engine that is on here now just pisses me off to no end. What also really pisses me off is that I never remember the syntax to use the google site lol!

I think there should be a setting in the software to index 3 letter words, it might be worth changing it...

Hmm... I'll need to look into this further (evidently this is an emotional issue for some!)

Currently site is set up to index terms of 3 characters or more. However, I notice that a search for "LSD" yields no results, whereas a search for "LSD*" (the "*" being a wildcard character) yields results.

A simple workaround of course would be to use google (search for "+site:delica.ca +LSD") -- however Google will only index a subset of pages and so I'd prefer to tweek the built-in search engine...

Are you sure it's "3 characters or more" and not "more than 3 characters"?

I've started a sticky topic in the FAQ section of the forum. Anybody who has others that want to be added, I'll add them to my post and maitain that thread.

should probably add:

CVSE=Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement (BC)
ICBC=Insurance Corporation of British Columbia
CBSA=Canadian Border Services Agency
TC=Transport Canada
CMVSS=Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
FMVSS=Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (US)
OOP=Out Of Province (Inspection)
JDM=Japanese Domestic Market
CDM=Canadian Domestic Market
USDM=United States Domestic Market
NADM=North American Domestic Market
RHD=Right Hand Drive
LHD=Left Hand Drive
UNECE (often shortened to ECE or "E-Code")=United Nations Economic Commission for Europe
AS=American Standard (glass ratings)
DOT=Department Of Transport (US)
NHTSA=National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (US)
PLPD=Public Liability and Property Damage (insurance)
SAAQ=Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec (QC equivalent of ICBC)

I know most of these are second nature to many people on here by now, but I bet most people just starting to investigate Delica ownership have never heard most of these terms... I know when I first heard about delicas I sure didn't know what most of these were!

You know, I've been around the delicas for quite a while, and I don't think i've ever seen that one made in to an acronym...

Is that generally on the auction-house sheets? No-one seems familiar with this one. I added it just the same...
