Default The Abbreviations & Acronyms Definitions Thread

I have received a few requests lately from people wanting to know what some abbreviations/acronyms meant. There is a WRX lingo thread, but I am trying to amalgamate a lot of the info into this one post. So here are some common definitions.

There are more. Contribute others if you have them, and I will add them to the list.

710 Cap = Oil Cap
Abortion = The word everyone uses when they should be using "Abomination".
ADM = Australian Domestic Market
AFM = Air Flow Meter
AFR = Air Fuel Ratio
AOS = Air Oil Separator
ASG = All Star Garage

BOV = Blow Off Valve
Bugeye WRX = 01 - 02 Model
Bunnings Spec = Homemade mods
CAI = Cold Air Intake
CBE = Cat Back Exhaust
Classic WRX = 93 - 00 Model
CSB = Cool Story Bro

DCCD = Driver Controlled Centre Diff
ELH = Equal Length Headers
FFS = For Fuck's Sake. Usually used when trying to install new parts on a car.
FMIC = Front Mount Intercooler

JDM = Japanese Domestic Market
Long motor = short motor + heads, cams, intake
LSD = Limited Slip Diff
MAF = Mass Air Flow

MBC = Manual Boost Controller
MMS = Maximum MotorSport
Peanut WRX = 03 - 05 Model

TINO = Triple Invested Never Operated
TMIC = Top Mount Intercooler
TPS = Throttle Position Sensor
UELH = Unequal Length Headers

Yoink Pop - pull the handbrake, release the clutch. Usually a prelude to Helis.

Hopefully the thread title makes it easily found for future searches.
