Well the AMG thing is a joke, I will see if any old school people like me get it. As for FD: those are the letters used in 3rd gen Vins. 2nd gens are FC's, and first gens are FB's. I believe the 79-80 vin has SA in it and 81-85 are FB's.

I think that would be a good idea especially for guys that aren't familiar with engines or car mechanic stuff in general like... MAF, EGR, PCV, TPS, FCD, FMC, BTM, AFR, ECU, AIC, STP, etc.
I threw a couple of bands in there at the end

i thought we were here to help people like myself keep the
RX-7 alive. To do that you have to help fng's like myself understand what your talking about! It may be old **** for you but I fell in love with a car and I want to make my 82 brand new!!! And I need some help doing it. Should I go to another site, I hope not I've gotten alot of good feedback here. Think about it there are still new guys in this thing.

The link ILUVMY88CABRIO tossed out will answer all of your questions about acronyms used regarding rotary's. The others were just jokes... a couple so obscure (mine) that I dunno if anyone here will get it!

Good list! I didnt realize there were so many acronyms out there...
intheburgh,
You shouldn't take offense to the jokes. I was on another forum for the last couple years and everyone jokes around in fun for the most part. Just because we're FNG's doesn't mean we automatically know nothing about cars and so what if it does? From what I've seen, most people on this board are really helpful and respectful of eachother. Everyone was an FNG at some point.
Here's some more car acronyms: (anyone, correct me if i'm wrong on these!)
MAP - Manifold Absolute Pressure (sensor)
TPS - Throttle Position Sensor
ECU - Engine Control Unit
EFI - Electronic Fuel Injection
MFI - Multi port Fuel Injection
FBC - Feedback Carburetor system
ISC - Idle Speed Control
VAD - Vacuum Advance Distributor
MAF - Mass Air Flow meter
BOV - Blow Off Valve
FMIC - Front Mount Intercooler
PCV - Positive Crankcase Ventilation or Purge Control Valve
FPR - Fuel Pressure Regulator
ACV - Air Control Valve
PRC - Pressure Regulator Control
EGR - Exhaust Gas Recirculation (valve)
ABV - Air Bypass Valve
TOB - Throwout Bearing
TB - Throttle Body
TDC - Top Dead Center
CV - Constant Velocity (joint)
ABS - Anti-lock Braking System
AAS - Auto Adjust Suspension
CAS - Crank Angle Sensor
APS - Atmospheric Pressure Sensor
BAC - Bypass Air Control (valve)
AFR - Air Fuel Ratio
These are ones I've seen and kept track of in the past (not just for sevens). A lot of these you'll never see plus have multiple meanings...
It's easy to get out of control with these things.
