John "Nads" Naderi e Amir Bentatou vivem para celebrar o espírito de tunar carros, transformando carros de alto desempenho japoneses em ícones do mundo tuning, com partes iguais de desempenho e estilo.
To kick off the show, John "Nads" Naderi and Amir Bentatou hatch a plan to afford their dream Civic Type R hatch, go way over budget, and celebrate the dawn of a new era of Super Street the best way they know how -- with an old-school canyon run.
The boys get their hands on a stock Subaru BRZ. That won't do, so Nads and Amir add some affordable mods to turn it into a respectable track car. Can they turn a fast enough time at the track and gain entry into the exclusive sub-two-minute lap club?
Hot Rod Garage built a Nissan 350Z drifter with a welded differential, hydraulic handbrake, steering angle kit and not much else. Then they abandoned it. Nads and Amir try to salvage this one with some much-needed style and a Formula Drift debut!
The boys score a Japanese-spec, right-hand-drive 1997 Toyota Chaser. It's the perfect recipe for a sideways, big-body drift car, but Nads and Amir want to go in a different direction -- straight down the drag strip.
It’s a given that VIP cars include rare body kits, oversized wheels, and slammed ride heights. What isn't so sure is the origin story. Can the boys build something that's true to the roots of this space and make it to an exclusive VIP party reveal?
Our quest to transform a big-body drift car into an all-out drag car continues, as we build big, big boost with a big turbo. And because we're bringing it to a drag race and car show, we clean up the bodywork and add a custom wrap.
Amir's Elise has been a long-standing dream, but now that he has it, the boys can't leave well enough alone. Honda's Civic Type R engine makes for a perfect swap, but it also begs a question: Are these swaps still forbidden fruit or a sign of the times?
Nads always wanted a hot hatch, and his Civic Type R tribute checks all the right boxes with a curated blend of OEM-plus hardware, rare JDM parts and a complete color change.
Old-school JDM rides have never been hotter, which is why Amir and Nads build a 1970 510, before meeting some OG Super Streeters for a historic parade cruise. But they soon find it's not so easy to work on patina-ed paint, rusted chrome and vintage carbs.
Back in the day, the Miata was a cute roadster, before evolving into a fun, stylish track car. Today, TikTok memes and dancing headlights have tarnished its rep. Amir and Nads work to build a cool, clean Miata and drive it to the ultimate homecoming.
The boys take on Godzilla, Nissan's BNR32 Skyline GT-R. With a little guidance from none other than "Mr. GT-R" and some Group A styling cues, the end result is worthy of a Super Street-style cover shoot at one of the world's top GT-R tuners.
We famously fell short of our goal of a sub-two-minute BRZ lap at Buttonwillow, along with the power needed to chase single-digit timeslips in our drag Chaser. In this episode, we set out to right those wrongs with big boost and even bigger aero.
We enlist the incomparable Riley Stair to fabricate a one-of-a-kind turbo kit along with some aggressive carbon fiber aero mods to take Amir's K-swapped Lotus Elise off the streets and onto a GridLife track day.
