Homer Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 There was a thread quite a while back where Paul Evans described the various hybrid specs (yeah, I know....) Stage 1 = New compressor & turbine wheels with increased scroll area Stage 2 = As above but with reground compressor housing and increased wheel size Stage 3 = As above but with reground turbine housing and increased wheel size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 So if you don't believe it, just ask Envy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 (edited) May i assume that a J car imported has a restricted top end of 112mph? I remember it was that way with imported 300ZXs. Edited July 3, 2008 by colsoop (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Why would you say that then mate? It does not matter if i have Italian, i also have Jap bikes, i love all super cars no matter what. Why would i wind things up when there are cars on this forum with epic horse power to leave my gear standing on the straights:eyebrows:. Am i to believe that if anyone asks me a question about Ferrari on here that they are winding ME up? Na my friend i just want to know one of my sparing partners so to speak;) Actually, I'm interested in your ferrari experience. I seriously considered going the ferrari route (348 or 355) last year - even went to look at a couple. But, I searched the web and joined a forum and found too many reviews / posts that suggested a 1500 mile drive was simply asking for something to break, many comments saying "OK, so it's not as well built as a Porsche" etc. I also discovered that the valve seals could be an expensive repair, although day to day servicing didn't seem so bad from independents. How long have you had yours and how do you find it? How many miles a year to you cover? How reliable is it really? My 964 is very reliable - I'd trust it to get me to the other side of Europe - but still, some things need fixing at the moment (air con for one!). I eventually decided that if I had a 355 instead of the 964, I would have a car that I'd never drive that far, because I wouldn't have the same level of trust.

Apologies for the suggestion, but we quite often get owners of other marques coming here just to try to get a rise out of some of the more vocal members. I wouldn't mind a 355 myself. I (all to briefly) drove a 355 F1 GTS before I had the Supra and absolutely loved it. But only 3 laps of Goodwood and not allowed to go below 3rd - it just wasn't enough. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ken.holland/Ferrari/Dsc00607.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Envy Hybrids are always Stage 3 iirc, same goes/went for JPS ones too i think, but i have never really looked into Hybrids.... Yes they are, not sure what it entails though Jake! I think they have larger internal housings to handle the additional pressure, but they were fitted before I bought the car by Phoenix. Mine were Envy Stage 3's though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
