Here is discussion of the name of car you like or understand.

You can ask some term of vehicle
we are discuss here(for those junior understand)

eg: FC =Fuel consumption
Coolant = the water for ....(don't know how to explain)
185/75/14H.....

(Please don't)

Strictly no offense the manufacture
Strictly no politic issue here
Strictly no laugh the name of car
Strictly no off topic
Please use better english term(don't let them laugh on you)


please correct me, if i'm wrong(I accept your opinion)

anyone know the saga [color=red]LMST full name
Proton saga LMST N-Line?

and WRM, SRM, TRM.....

Part 1 (Title of short form)

WRM = Wira Replacement Model
SRM = Satria Replacement Model
TRM = Tiara Replacement Model

GTR = Nissan Skyline
AE86= Initial D toyota trueno
EK9 = Civic 9th gen Sedan

Part 2 (Heart of Automobile)
V-engine(conclusion)
--->


A question here, does V type engine save petrol efficiency??

And, Honda has announced it's next generation VTEC engine, the Advanced VTEC engine (AVTEC) which will make it's debut in a production car within the next three years.

Common title see on street:
1)DVVT, Dynamic Variable Valve Timing
2)VVT-i, Variable Valve Timing with fuel injection(or intelligent)
3)iDSI, Dual Sequential Ignition with fuel injection(or intelligent)
4)VTEC, Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control
5)iVTEC, intelligent-VTEC
6)CVVT, Continuous variable valve timing
Now I know is,

Honda made VTEC
Toyota made VVT, then Perodua make DVVT
Nissan made VTC(Valve Timing Control)
Mitsubishi made MIVEC
BMW made VANOS
Hyundai use CVVT
Proud of Proton is CAMPRO


Part 3 BrakingSystem

ABS = Anti-locking Braking System
ASR = Anti-Skid Regulation
EBD = Electronic Brake Distribution
EBA = Emergency Brake Assist


Part 4 Tyre "figure" recognition

Tyre "figure" recognition

eg. 185/75/14H


185 - Width of your tyre (mm)
75 - Aspect ratio is the percentage of the tyre's width. 75 is a thick one. Sports car uses low profile tyres such as 45, 40. (height of tyre)
14 - Size of the rim that this tyre fits in inches(inch.)
H - Maximum speed that the tyre manufacture recommends.

S - Up to 113 mph.
H - Up to 130 mph.
V - Up to 149 mph.
Z - Over 149 mph.

Part 5 Car Maintenance

This is an important for all people look over, especially woman , lazy guy...you know la

Those part is the 1st attention warmed by some experienced driver
1. Engine oil
2. Engine oil level gauge
3. Battery Electrolyte
4. Engine coolant
5. Windscreen fluid
..... and so many parts you think is more important
...........Which part you should check before you start your engine!!

VERY IMPORTANT. --> Enough fuel move to petrol station!!!


Any request please say!!

May I Add:

Braking related
1) ABS
2) EBD

Transmission Related
1) CVT

Engine Technology:
1) DVVT
2) VVTi
3) iDSI
4) VTEC
5) i-VTEC

01. FC = Fuel Consumption
02. FPR = fuel pressure regulator
03. A-FPR = adjustable fuel pressure regulator
04. ECU = engine control unit
05. EMS = Enhine management System = ECU
06. MAP = Manifold Absolute Pressure
07. ICT = intake charge temperature
08. WOT = wide open throttle
09. TB = throttle body
10. ARB = Anti roll bar
11. GB = Gearbox
12. abs = Absorber
13. ABS = Anti lock brake system (*please correct me here)
14. HU = Head Unit (as in ICE for CD player/Cassette Player/DVD Player)
15. ICE = In Car Entertainment Entertainment.
16. x-over = crossover
17. TCS Traction Control System?
18. LSD - Limited Slip Differential

cheers.

1) Advanced Braking System or Anti-lock Braking system or Automated Braking System or OTHERS
2) Electronic Brake Distribution

1)Continuously Variable Transmission

1)Dynamic Variable Valve Timing
2)Variable Valve Timing with fuel injection(or intelligent)
3)Dual Sequential Ignition with fuel injection(or intelligent)
4)Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control
5)intelligent-VTEC

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think you are not well verse with Toyota

It's VVT-i = Variable Valve Timing with intelligence

Btw it's not equivalent to VTEC since it doesn't have valve lift alteration unlike VVTL-i which developed by toyota later on.

If my car supports both RON92 and RON97, what advantages/disadvantages would both petrol have?

MIVEC: Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control

SOHC = Single Overhead Camshaft

DOHC = Dual Overhead Camshaft

looks ggod so far...

TS Please Gather the "terms & meanings" together & summarize them in your 1st post from time to time if possible...

RON means Research Octane Number. Sorry forgot about the chemistry already.
But anyways here's what it means for the engine. You see most people say that higher RON means more firepower. In fact it kinda means the opposite. The higher RON, the more energy it needs to make it ignite.

So therefore when you have a high compression engine, a higher RON will not make the fuel pre-ignite(knocking) because it takes more energy(more compression) to make it ignite. Higher RON also means a more progressive ignition. It is best to use RON97 (your engine supports it right?) and not lower than 92. 97 releases the engine's full potential because the engine senses less knock and adjusts the best spark timing. Going any higher won't make a significant(if any) difference at all. A 92 RON is safe and cheaper too.

Waa..!!! so many dai kor answer it here already!!

cheer!! cheer~~~!!

but no body answer my question ler!!??

LMST

EBD? BAS? ABS? ESP? HICAS? ATTESSA? AYC? ACD? SMG? DSG? VSC? VANOS? MIVEC? VTEC? VVTi? VVTi-L? i-VTEC? VTC? TCS? DVVT? EPS? 4WS? CVT? CAMPRO? ETCS?

Coolant, liquid to transfer heat. Better than water alone bacause it contains chemical that prevents corrosion in your radiators.

185/75/14H

185 - Width of your tyre in mm.
75 - Aspect ratio, or the profile of the tyre. 75 is a thick one. Sports car uses low profile tyres such as 45, 40.
14 - Size of the rim that this tyre fits in inch.
H - Maximum speed that the tyre manufacture recommends.

S - Up to 113 mph.
H - Up to 130 mph.
V - Up to 149 mph.
Z - Over 149 mph.

Basically aspect ratio is the percentage of the tyre's width. 75 means the height of the sidewalls is 75% of your tyre's width.

more horsepower = better top speed
more torque = better acceleration

Oh and regarding TS' question, does a V engine reduce fuel consumption. No.
It has the same fuel consumption and performance of a normal inline engine or any other configuration(same displacement and technology of course). The only advantage of it is it is compact in size. It is more complex however.

i dun think that ABS stands for Automated Braking System as there is no car I know that has been designed to Brake itself.

ABS is like what you mentioned as you second definition "Anti-lock Braking system"

and thanks for the rest of the definitions......I was always wondering those when see toyota and honda cars......
