What a big list of stuff that anyone who isn't retarded should alreay know.:dunno:

dance_of_curse
i knew about like all the stuff cept the intercooler/after cooler stuff....and then the ricers may need to learn abit so they can get unriced a touch

oldraven
Some of them were pretty stund though. Like ECU vs ECM. Neither are wrong.

And the transaxle was invented by Ferdinand Porsche for the VW bug.

Bah, what a stupid list, it doesn't even have:

Incorrect term: Burnout
Correct term: WA-WA-WA-WA-WA-WA :mad:

its got incorrect info. vtec came out in 89 for massproduced cars, not 92.

other shit is dumb, like o2 sensors, swaybars, etc.

whatever, its just another rice article from a rice mag for ricers.

overboost.com isnt a magazine...

Your Wrong man, the CRX SiR had a B16a1 in it in 89.. which is a vtec motor..

:lol:

Holy Shite, man! Be careful. I nearly laughed my coffee out my nose. Do you know how much that would hurt?

And you're both wrong, VTEC came out in '89 in the CRX, not '92. Where were you in Honda history class?

I agree, they are just trying to sound smart by correcting simple words that may be slightly incorrect. Swaybar vs. antiroll bar. Using antiroll bar is just going to confuse people even if it is slightly more correct.

"Horse power: Incorrect. Torque: Correct."
I'm not sure how horsepower is incorrect... different words that mean different things.

I'm still going to call aftercoolers intercoolers, antiroll bars sway bars and horsepower horsepower with or without overboost.com's aproval.
