Hi gang,
Fairly new member here, still baffled by some acronyms. Couple weeks ago I was scratching my head over "TOR" and now I'm doing so over "NARK". Surprising how difficult it is to find answers without interrupting a thread to ask for translation.

It would be great if one of the "senior" members would post a legend for commonly used acronyms and maybe put it in the FAQ section. I, for one, would be grateful as hell. Anyone up for that?

Thanks!

AI: Air injection. We remove it, well a lot of us do. Mainly removed when installing free-flowing aftermarket exhaust to eliminate popping and backfiring. Also allows for easier access to spark plugs.

KARK (as opposed to NARK) = Keef Airbox Removal Kit (a DIY version posted by an esteemed RAT)
