Hybridz:

In our country, it's one nation under God. In our import team, it's one team under Hybrid. This philosophy has worked for over 17+ years and still, going stronger than ever. One does not want to see what is coming or what behind the scenes projects we will be releasing to the public either this year or next. This state of mind is now rooted in our DNA and whatever happens, it does not matter anymore. We are not chasing after dreams anymore because we are living it. What we have accomplished time and time again is what other teams out there continue to strive for and for some, many years of trying, but still just coming up short & a lot of jibberish. There is nothing else left for us to prove but to "consistently" lead by example and do what we do best... continue making import history.

Here are some sneak previews of what is to come, what has arrived and why we continue to be the exception. Performance and results of all our claims, actions and words!

1. Congratulations to LV Chapter's Tom Milroy WRX Wagon for being the 1st person in Team Hybrid as well as the import scene to receive and rock the 1st set of BFGoodrich's new model tire, G-Force, Sport Comp-2.







2. Congratulations to SoCal Chapter's Larry Huynh 350Z for being sponsored by AEM.



3. Congratulations to LV Chapter Director, Archie Concon's 2 DR. EVO selected to be one of a handful of cars BFGoodrich picked for the SC2 marketing campaign and be the only car (as well as the only import team) to represent the import tuner side of the tire industry.





4. One of our co-leaders is currently traveling around the world and he shows us not only how Team Hybrid is everywhere, but also, the special Hybrid Luv we have for this team that keeps us going stronger than ever. Here is Team Hybrid representing @ Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taipei, Taiwan. The Memorial Hall is white with four sides. The octagonal roof rises 76 metres (249 ft) above the ground and is covered with blue glazed tiles. The blue and white colors of the building are the same as our Team colors. Lastly, the octagonal shape picks up the symbolism of the number 8, a number traditionally associated in Asia with abundance and good fortune. Hybrid luv 4 life and cheers to you when you return!





5. Magazine & online scoreboard as of 04/19/12: 3 published Cover article, 2 published full feature article, 1 online feature, 1 media kit and 2 event coverages. Mark my word, next week we are uping our game once again. Just wait and see, especially the sneak peaks.

Hybridz:

Geniuses, innovators, champions, lengends, philosophers, masters of our trade and etc. are all terms our team has been associated with for almost 2 decades. We keep the impossible happening and continue to do things only a legendary team can do. Like I said last week, I will be providing some sneak peaks. But the debut for some will be sooner than you think. There is always more than meets the eye with Team Hybrid. Haven't some of you out there learned your lesson? If not, get ready to get schooled again.

Here are some sneak previews of what is to come, what has arrived and why we continue to be the exception. Performance and results of all our claims, actions and words!

1. Industry news flash!!! StopTech has approved and began fabrication for a one-off big brake kit that will be the only set made in the world for a Team Hybrid car. Not only is it a StopTech BBK, but it's their top of the line model called Trophy Sport BBK which are bred for racing and feature a MIL-spec hard-anodizing on the Trophy STR calipers and AeroHats® that is impervious to color change or fading at extreme race temperatures. On top of being the best and only set in the world, it will be a complete front and rear set.



2. One of our current super stars and who, will eventually rise to legendary status not only within our team but in our industry has been approved for a sponsorship with Cusco. I guess Cusco feels the same way. As most of you know out there esp. the veterans who have been in the game for a long time, landing a Cusco sponsorship is no easy task. Once again, Team Hybrid and our leaders/members are trusted with some of the most prestiguous import sponsorships.



3. 1 of our many top secret projects debuting soon. My estimate.... in less than 30 days. Count down begins today! Race-Street-Show. Living up to our slogan once again.



4. Congratulations to 1 of our many top secret projects for landing & shooting a full feature photoshoot with Super Street Magazine yesterday. Another one for our pipeline and a 2012 pipeline that may break all previous TM Hybrid media coverage records.





5. Magazine & online scoreboard as of 04/24/12: 3 published Cover article, 3 published full feature article, 1 online feature, 1 media kit and 2 event coverages. We not only up our game this week. I think we took it too a very un-touchable level once again esp. since this is only a fraction of what I have planned for Team Hybrid to come for "only" this week. This is only 1 week worth of news. Incredible huh?

[Eric Casillas Evo IX]

Nice Love it

[Archie]

wow! no wonder our sponsors are loving team hybrid.
and no wonder there are alot of haters our there too lol. Its true that when you are doing something good and its being published, people will hate because they are jealous or something!
Like i said, if you talk trash you better have something to back it up! NO INTERNET THUG HERE ALLOWED LOL. You know who you are!

[TBevoIX]

A hybrid takeover!!!

Honestly Archie as well as all the true & respectable Hybridz out there, the majority of the industry, the enthusiasts and the people all around the world who know who we are respect and/or love us for all we have done & continue to do for this industry. The 0.01% of haters out there or as well like to call them "retards, ex-members who left on bad terms or haters who have caught a virus of being power hungry, big headed and/or self-fishness" continue to do so because this is their only way left of staying revelant. Its funny, we time to time hear about their hate, but we also hear about them crying esp. when it is loud and clear the difference of being in Team Hybrid vs. not. Lastly, even our sponsors will not put up with this immature, disrespectful, lying and irresponsible behavior as all of you have witness recently on FaceBook.

A hybrid takeover!!!

Understatement Keoni. If this is what you call a Hybrid takeover then I like to hear what you coin what we are going to do in less than 30 days. The unveiling of some new innovations, new hybrid hunnyz, behind the scene projects, and more is going to be EPIC!

damn james... you just killed it

damn Joe... you just killed it. Lets show the team and the public some of the things you and I have going on also in less than 30 days.

A Hybrid nuclear bomb is coming... Like I said, "It's going to be epic."

Warned everyone 2 days before Motion Auto Show and now, more than 72 hours have passed since then and all of you have witnessed many innovative ideas executed, another promised kept and another re-invention of our Team Hybrid Empire of Epic Proportions.

If you think this is it, believe me once again, more is coming. We still have 7 more months till the end of 2012 and I already have more plans being innovated (HYBRID NIGHTS), blue printed and in due time, will be released to the public and add to our legendary story.

Hybridz:

Our Team Hybrid 2012 Empire is here and was witnessed by the masses @ Motion Auto Show which is now being talked about 10x fold (as I promised & another promise kept). Our team, hunnyz and I are honored to be considered import legends by our industry peers and continue our quest to up hold the standards & benchmarks on how a true lengendary team should perform overall, carry itself and innovate into our next decade. We have taught & trained many in the scene who some are now leaders in their own right and we have also schooled and taught lessons to many on the difference between being in Team Hybrid vs. not. Even though Memorial Day is here, the best never rest. After 17+ years, it is clearly evident esp. after Motion, we are not only still one of the best overall teams out there but also, consistent competitors who holds true to how a team is built, backed, and managed instead of trying to be a "Hybrid" of team by being part team/shop, team/website, team/blog, team/manufacturer and etc.

Here are some sneak previews of what is to come, what has arrived and why we continue to be the exception. Performance and results of all our claims, actions and words!

1. Team Hybrid website is finally back!!! www.teamhybrid.com After almost 4 years of going dark due to technical difficulties, we have re-launched the site for V.1 while we work behind the scenes for a V.2. Huge thanks and mad Hybrid Luv to our newest SoCal Chapter probie, Jesse Ramirez w/ the MR2 for making this happen in less than 48 hrs.

5. Magazine & online scoreboard as of 05/25/12: 4 published Cover articles, 4 published full feature articles, 1 online feature, 1 media kit and 3 event coverages. If you think what you saw @ Motion was a Team Hybrid Empire of epic proportions, wait till you see what the team, our chapter directors and I debut later this year. The game has been over a long time ago, but now, we just going to continue to re-invent it, have fun with it, up the standards and teach future generations how a true and real import team runs an aspect of our industry. Hybrid luv 4 life!

Hybridz:

On the road less traveled, there are no short cuts. Only the strong survive and the best of the best will keep innovating so future genereations will not only read, learn and benefit, but hopefully, they will make our import industry not only better but garner even more respect from the general public. Our name and brand is already in the import history books and we will continue to write many more chapters in it since it looks like we are going to up the standard once again.

Here are some sneak previews of what is to come, what has arrived and why we continue to be the exception. Performance and results of all our claims, actions and words!


1. Team Hybrid's new V2. website (www.TeamHybrid.com) is here and officially re-launched. Professionally done as well as a cleaner layout, more interactive and informative. Great job once again to our newest web admin., Jesse for making a Hybrid Quality website and setting import team website standards even higher.

http://www.teamhybrid.com



2. Congratulations to my E36 (Socal), NorCal's Joe's Voltex WRX Wagon and Las Vegas' Keonie Voltex Widebody EVO IX for being selected and approved to all attend on the same day STUDIO Photoshoot for a future full feature in one of the major import tuning magazines. This could or is a new record. 3 cars from the same team going in at the same time shooting in a studio instead of on location. The magazine company has really rolled out the red carpet for us not only shooting 3 cars from our team, but scheduling only Team Hybrid Cars to use the Anaheim Studio for the entire day.

3. The best never rest.



4. Someting special is coming...



5. Magazine & online scoreboard as of 06/14/12: 4 published Cover articles, 4 published full feature articles, 1 online feature, 1 media kit and 3 event coverages. Being in a major respected magazine once a year is amazing already, but being in a magazine every month is impossible. Can Team Hybrid & Hybrid Hunnyz do the impossible?
