I really do apologize for that life-threatening mistake. No need to get too wet over it :p. I don't see why it couldn't be either... or why it matters. Both when used as a colloquial phrase have a very similar meaning.

not really relevant to hondas but

IRS = Independent Rear Suspension
15-02-2009, 05:24 PM
trism

why isnt it relevant to hondas lukey?

youll find that your dc has IRS, my civic has IRS. infact just about every honda between the AH all the way up to the ep3 has IRS

if the back wheels/suspension are not connected by any sort, then its independent rear

this is from a non IRS car

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Solid_Axle.jpg

see the beam that runs across from left to right. its a solid axle. means that when one wheel moves, the other one does as well

youll notice it differs from hondas, which dont have this.

"mang" or "maing" is an overexaggerated or misinterpreted version of when someone of hispanic/cuban background says "man"

Watch "Scarface" and you'll get the idea... lol
