back along there was a big hype on here of the jabbasport hybrid(jabbaluke i think) and steve @ Statdlers Hybrid.  BUt we never saw any final work from the jabba guys.  Not sure if it was ever completed tbh.  Steves golf pulled good figures with GIAC iirc.  Someone like hurdy would be best placed to say what the deal is.  He was looking into all that back then

Luke's car?

Built entirely by his Dad's company, Jabba - it is indeed a very well sorted car. I wouldn't like to speculate on its value though, it's one of those "it needs the right buyer to find it" cars.

His name on here is Jabbalad, very good build thread but it kind of dies just at the point where the hybrid figures are due.

Check out the air filter, is that a "K&N-take"   :wink:

Price, well mmm, hopefull?, maybe someone wanting the max power ED30 will buy it near that price.

3.7s Nought to 60mph, seems a tad optimistic for FWD?

That's what I thought on the 0-60

If he can do sub 4 seconds on a FWD I will run the London Marathon naked!!!!
And he hasn't even mentioned a LSD in his mods, so I'd even be brave enough to say he wouldn't be able to do sub 5 seconds with that spec.
Neil did a 4.9 with his stripped out ED30 at International and he had a LSD at least (I think)  :popcornsoda:

Nice car, but agree with Rich. He is being rather hopeful with its asking.. It needs to come with a big arse warranty especially as its been used as a to the shops and back car :signLOL:

Nice car, nice spec, 18k 50k miles no chance unless as people have said its a one time buyer who wants it. GLWS.  :happy2:

As has been discussed over and over til the death on this forum mods don't add value unless it's a buyer who is interested and was going to add them mods to a standard one.
