In this video I’m in Dubai to visit Kanzen Motor Sports and meet the boys who are keeping JDM culture strong in the Middle East. I got a full walk-around of their workshop with Faiq, and you can feel straight away these guys are serious—fixing, tuning, and supporting JDM sports cars since they started in 2016. For me, it’s always interesting to see how different countries build their scene, and Dubai has a real demand for clean, properly sorted Japanese cars. I also mention that it was sad we couldn’t meet Ahmet during the visit, but the shop tour still gives you a good idea of how Kanzen operates and the kind of cars they work on. If you’re based in Dubai or anywhere around the Middle East and you’ve got a JDM car that needs proper work, this is the kind of place I’d tell you to check. And from my side at Garage Defend in Nagoya, it’s always respect when another shop is doing it right—supporting enthusiasts, keeping cars reliable, and making them run the way they should.
