Help with all the acronyms

[gturner008]

I'm confused with all the NSX jargon and acronyms. Anyone like to help me out and post up something to avoid me looking a complete dunce?! eg NA2 etc. Cheers...

NA1 = the original car 3.0 engine
NA2 = the original car and facelifted version with the 3.2 engine (autos kept the 3.0 engine)

Other important NSX abbreviations:
CCU = climate control unit (capacitor problems with old age)
EPS = electronics power steering (in all cars after some date in 1993)
VTEC = well, you know this one already
DBW = drive by wire for the throttle (electronic instead of cable), from about 1995
NSX-T = NSX targa
Type S = unaffordable
Type R = very unaffordable
WTF = "hey mister, what sort of car is that?"
Cat C or Cat D = not-so-surprising result of understeer/oversteer (in a car with low polar moment of inertia)
IOP = gaudy orange paintwork
mpg = inverse of VTEC

Pendant alert - all Autos are designated NA1 - even 02+ (facelift) cars.
