John "Nads" Naderi and Amir Bentatou transform Japanese performance cars into tuner icons with equal parts performance and style.

John "Nads" Naderi and Amir Bentatou transform Japanese performance cars into tuner icons with equal parts performance and style.
Enlisting 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.
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.
Amir and Nads build a 1970 510, then meet up with some OG Super Streeters.
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.
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.
VIP cars include rare body kits, oversized wheels and slammed ride heights; the boys try to build something that's true to the roots of the space and make it to an exclusive VIP party reveal.
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.
"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 get their hands on a stock Subaru BRZ; Nads and Amir add some affordable mods to turn it into a respectable track car; they try to turn a fast enough time at the track to gain entry into the exclusive sub-two-minute lap club.
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.
