- Thu Aug 16, 2007 3:13 am #20029 i want to first apologise for the noobies from me... but i trying to keep up with the short form you guys are writing.. and it would be good that you guys can give me expansion of the initials..

ITB?

different between long block and a short block??

stuff like that.. i kind of confused when reading some of the advance technical language...

all the help is appreciated...

Remember when Civics were cool ? Yea me neither
