James attributes this multi-disciplinary approach as the primary reason Team Hybrid has become legendary in the tuning industry.” Super Street Quote #3, “The foundation for the design process was Team Hybrid’s philosophy of building clean, innovative cars that can win at the race, street, track, or show. Super Street Quote #2, “Another obstacle was the fact that Team Hybrid is purely a car club and not a pro-level shop with a garage available 24/7 or warehouse full of inventory…the problem was solved by outsourcing the development of parts as one-off pieces and relying on loyal sponsors who were eager to jump aboard the proven winner’s ship” Build a winning show car two years in a row and you’re James Lin, Founder of Team Hybrid, who’s won back-to-back Scion Tuner Challenges, defeating three other teams in the invitation-only competition. Super Street Quote #1, “Build a winning show car once and consider yourself lucky. Senior Editor, Terence Patrick, wrote as the cover story heading, “JAMES LIN OF TEAM HYBRID TALKS ABOUT BEING THE KING OF SCION TUNERS.” Making COVER is also another major milestone achievement for Team Hybrid. This was an article w/ Super Street that I worked out that had to be kept top secret from the public and now, here it is for all to witness. Team Hybrid continues to be the finest, oldest and most innovative import team.Ĭongratulations to Project Director, James Lin and Project Manager, David Huang’s 2008 Scion xD in a 6 page COVER feature in Super Street Magazine’s Mach 2008 issue, pgs 054-060. We have already had 4 in a row and with more coming (as of now, 4 more to be exact). Most teams out there are grateful getting 1-2 features a year. This will also be the 4th consecutive month that PAS has featured a Team Hybrid car in their magazine. Lastly, there is more Hybrid History in the making. You can’t miss it and it is one or possibly, the highest circulated issue and stays on newsstands for twice as long. On top of that, the editor in chief decided to run these Cover cars together in their 2008 annual issue which comes in a poly bag w/ their annual 2008::2009 import model calendar inside of it too. There is the PAS Cover and in the magazine, there is another magazine called PASMAG Overdrive which also has its own hard cover. As some of you may know or those that subscribe, PAS is now two magazines in one. ![]() We thought making cover of March 2008 Super Street issue w/ the Scion xD was amazing. NONE of them currently have the level of respect and relationship we have with our industry peers. Some teams may score a cover here and there, but NONE (past or present) have scored two covers in the same issue in the last 15 years that I know of. We will be the first team to ever do this. Our team name is also printed on both covers to help sell the magazine. Not only are we making Hybrid History, we are making Import Industry History by placing two Hybrid cars on the same issue of both Outer & Inside COVERS in Performance Auto & Sound Magazine. Every suggestive idea, innovative customization, almost every make/model of car, display, Hybrid Hunnyz, trophy, sponsor, trend, and even our management team of co-leaders have been looked up or copied by various import teams throughout the nation.Īs your leader, it is my job to continue to lead by example, do what I must behind the scenes in order to continue making Hybrid History and keep us ahead of the competition while our members focus and build their car(s) to be best of the best. Almost everything we touch, turns into gold. ![]() Over the past 13 years, our team has inspired many, brought greatness to more people than we’ve ever imagined, and ingrained ourself in the public consciousness with such force of will that we have become a brand and legendary name.
