16v with a willy lump(2.0 16v).

I think!

Any engine in the wrong car basically...could be a 1.2 with a 172 motor...

 

[Scott]

^yup
can be used as a term on any car thats had a bigger engine fitted


heh beat me to it....

 

[Ali]

^ muhahaha! could it not work the other way...i.e fitting a smaller engine...still a hybrid?!

 

[Scott]

:slap: lol
i suppose it could work both ways yes now you mention it.

 

[Ad]

I always understood that to be the way, but I have seen some on here call there MK1 172s with MK2 bits a hybrid??!!!

 

[Ali]

it's simply a mix of more than one car..

 

[lee_cup]

so when people sell a dodgy cut and shut car they could just advertise it as a Hybrid, LOL

 

[Ali]

lol...Nah there not smart enough to think of that!! ^

Brid is slang for a "clio" so a hybrid is basically a clio with raised suspension used for off roading

 

[Nafoff]

lol @ j3ned

 

[Tom_16v]

lol the most common use of hybrid on here is for 2.0l powered valvers.....

 

[Scoobywhoo]

hybrid is anything modified - a highbrid turbo would have non standard parts in it etc.

But J3ned idea is best

i think you are referring to chris there lol! 'hybrid'- something made by combining two different elements. on cliosport, as said it tends to be a 2.0 16v engine into a mk1 shell (more often than not a valver)
