In the early 2000s, the import scene was booming, and Hybrid Racing was right in the thick of it. The founder, William Davidson, started it all with an '89 white CRX sporting a turbo ZC motor and a Wings West kit. This wasn't just a hobby for him; it was a passion project fueled by countless hours and hard-earned cash, all aimed at making his Honda faster.
He faced plenty of obstacles—scams, low-quality parts, and unhelpful shops—but instead of discouraging him, these challenges sparked a determination to create something better.
In 2002, they saw the potential of Honda's then-new K-series engine. Recognizing the need for parts to make K-series swaps possible, Hybrid Racing was born. By 2003, the company was registered, and with earnings from local swaps, they secured a small workshop to bring their vision to life.
Hybrid Racing wasn’t just another name in the market; it was a pioneer. They were the first to release EG mounts, plug-and-play harnesses, AC kits, shifter cables, fuel line kits, clutch lines, and many other K-series swap parts. The mission was simple: support the community and make going fast in a Honda easier and more accessible.
The shop was built on a foundation of honesty and genuine support. Customers could call and get no-strings-attached advice. Whether you're working on a swap with a buddy or fine-tuning your setup for a race, Hybrid Racing is there to share experience and provide support. No attitude, just genuine help.
From its beginnings in K-swaps, Hybrid Racing expanded into drivetrain innovations and now focuses on enhancing Honda and Acura performance. Hybrid Racing is more than a brand; it's a community driven by passion, performance, and a relentless pursuit of speed. The goal is to push the boundaries and keep the spirit of automotive excellence alive.

Testimonials
It's a 2010 Honda car, but it feels like a better evolution of the factory shift knob's operating feel. It screws in deeper than the previous Maxim shift knob, so I was a bit confused at first, but adjusting the height of the short shifter made it better. The boot collar is included, so there is no need to purchase it separately. A minor detail is that the boot collar is held in place by a magnet, so it does not move. This means that I no longer have to worry about the shifter boot moving.
