This is completely off topic, but curiousity has gotten the best of me.

What does SPL mean? I see all the time on these fourms. and my Mad tYte JDM verbage is quite lacking.

some say....


super performance league




(no it really doesnt mean that, but my friend says it does-and yes, he knows what SPL really means haha)

[Rennen]

so when I see pinkgodzira.spl on freshalloy

its means a super performance league of flaming pink badly mispronounced godzillas?



i guess it makes perfect sense

-Matt

[Dousan_PG]

ah badly spelled in the USA
there's a shop in Japan w/ Pink Godzira.
SPL really means "special"

our friend says "super performance league" for laughs. its pretty funny at the track.

flaming pink? dude, pink rocks. nothing like a pink drift car tearing it up...haha..look at Yashio Factory

hardcore!

where's yeswepromise? he's got the yashio factory in his sig.

[Rennen]

special huh, is that your final answer?

Yeah, i have seen pics of the Yashio Factory car, and it is hardcore, and it is also pink. I still have yet to see a US car "hardcore" enough to pull of a bright pink paintjob, but I guess thats just my own personal opinion. I would prob rock a car covered entirely in duct tape before I spent $ to paint my car pink.

[Dousan_PG]

pink cars here are suck
think FnF2! ew

yeah to use the pink, imho you need:

driver skill
lots of power
guts to drive it around town

its not easy stateside. espeically depending what state you live in!

anywyas. yeah its SPL=Special

so when you see, this is (company name) SPL part,it means this is (company name) special (company or privately made) part.

its pretty common abbreviation and used a lot.

ahhh, I see now. Thanks alot, that context makes sense now.

enough post whoring for me for today

hmm...i thought that the whole SPL things with cars was from the car stereo crowd.

SPL = sound pressure level.

a way to measure the efficiency and loudness of a speaker, measured in decibels.

http://www.acoustics.salford.ac.uk/a...s/Decibels.htm

for example, my big speaker i use with my bass is an SWR Goliath Senior, and it has an SPL rating of 110 dB SPL @ 1W1M. that's ****ing loud, by the way

[KiDyNomiTe]

You'd get a lot of girls for driving a pink car . Stands out, and anyman that has the balls to drive a pink car prolly gets points for being that brave. But this is my fuzzy logic and I'll never find out what women want (excluding money )

I'd drive a pink car for sh*ts and giggles.

This might be off topic as well. Has anyone purchased off SPLparts.com? How are they and did shipping take long? Thinking about ordering a couple things from them.

thanks
