I have a ideia, since there is no Camry TRD 4wd , why not pickup q Camry 2.5 4wd and try to make ir faster than a TRD? I think there is some vídeo one guy changing 2.5 heads and getting big power added without FI. Maybe even changing final drive in the autobox is possible.. You later can make also a TRD tune car.

Makes about the same power as a N/A K24. Nice!

Those new tail lights remind me of a mid 90s Mazda 626. I prefer the stock tails. They're unique IMO.

If you decide to leave the newer lights in, black them out a bit so it blends in more… getting bit of a zeroes Lexus lights dejavu… and for the wheels.. hate the stretch lips wheel rings… get a slightly less wilde front wheel than it is really spot on!!

Stock lights look soooooooooo much better The aftermarket ones make it look like an impreza

When the weather gets better, will there be a lot more track reviews, battles, or track build series? Really miss the older track focused stuff.

OEM tail lights ftw! Embrace the amber!

Keep the stock tail lights, classic Silvia. Would love to see the skyline and the Silvia on the track together! Loved the series. 😎👍

OEM+ and street cars are the way to go!! You guys do a really good job at that. We’d love to see a track segment with it.

Those red/clear tail lights are giving me 2013 Ford Fusion vibes.

New taillights for sure looks more sleek and modern. You definitely do not want to start taking styling tips from GM haha

that's a hard call with the taillights for me too. i like the more modern ones, but you are right that the top part (clear/chrome) on them isn't really fitting imo. also cant wait to see a follow up vid when winter is over!

I demand headstuds, gasket,440cc injectors, a 2871r and a retune!! :) It's so beautiful, Pete! As a 25 year long s-chassis lover, these are the GOAT for me.

I can't unsee the Pontiac GrandAM in the rear now that you said it. I want to see you guys drive all the things!

The clear lenses for the tail lights for sure! Great build.

Can't wait to see this thing on the street. Also, I would LOOOVE to see a Pontiac G8/Holden Commodore build! Love my G8 GXP

Yes! Build a G8! One of my favourite cars I’ve ever owned.

This is an uncommon build and I like the OEM+ focus. Nicely done.

Slight smoke on the clear section of the tails would match the front headlights

The fitment is perfect. Most of the people in these comment sections have probably never even owned a bycicle

It'd be fun to see a video with all the cars you build over the winter at the track at once - Show off that Canadian car life! 🤣

9th gen sedan with all the bells and whistles. You said in previous episodes you wanted to build one. Can't wait for the day you do

I totally understand your struggles with choosing badging and tailights. You all have such good taste. My thoughts are to keep the black tailights and no badging. It goes with the theme of the car better and looks more aggressive. I love that it looks like a rare no-name car in grand theft auto.

G8 with Holden conversion!! Yes please!! A build off with a LS/LT vs Coyote 5.0 would be cool too

Love the series. Now let’s see some Connie!!

I'm with you guys. I'm split pretty much 50/50 on the tail lights. I don't hate the new ones, but I also like the stock look. Also I loved this build series. Actually I don't think you guys have done a single build that I didn't like... Keep it up, your stuff is amazing!

Kinda get Toyota chaser vibes out of those tails. Modern and It’s not horrible… it’ll grow on ya! Always wanted one of these Silvia’s, you guys did such a great job with everything. It looks incredible.

I can’t wait for you guys to get back to test drives on a racetrack instead of the streets.

Love the wheel and tire setup! TE37's are amazing but definitely a bit overdone. Beautiful car overall.

I like the new tail lights. They remind of the Acura 3.2TL Type S and 3.2CL Type S tail lights from the same vintage as the S15. 👌

The wheels look fine . I agree . TE are sweet on almost anything but i like seeing something different

Great looking car, nice sound, perfect wheels and looks so clean. Nissan really nailed the S15.

I Love the black wheels. They Look amazing👌

Stock lights look awesome

Definitely looks proper with the clear tail lamps. Much cleaner look

This car came together so cleanly, perfect OEM+ build imo! Gonna be so much fun to drive once weather permits :)

The original tail lights that came on the car have the rare factory optional rear fog light. Most didn't have it, actually very rare

Red and black lights for sure. Also, while TE’s look good on everything, it definitely gets boring seeing them on everything. It’s good to see more budget friendly wheels that are also nice. The internet just has everyone jaded.

I like the fact that you put on different wheels. When I bought my WRX everyone was putting on the same wheels. I put Prodrive PFF7's on in Anthracite. The whole point of customizing your car is so it doesn't look like everyone else's.

My vote would be to put the stock amber side markers and go back to the OEM Amber/Red tail lights. THAT, would be OEM plus on this... Also, debadged trunk.

There's nothing wrong with a little wheel poke in my opinion. Think it looks so good on this car, but the adjustment looks great as well. These wheels are class 👌🏽

God that car is so beautiful. I watch every video you guys post, and it is so cool to see these cars that I have no knowledge of. Great stuff

That's a nice Toyota Solara youve got there, Pete! 😜

Yeah the rear lights Was thinking the same

Silvia deserves to be badged because the nameplate is so cool...

always Love the "OEM+" builds

I wasn't expecting those tail lights to make such a difference... went from GM to Proper early 2000s JDM Toyota chaser/lexus alteza era vibes

I like the taillights you started with a lot better. Just my opinion, pick whichever one you like!

Head studs and head gasket and go for more power with a vvl head! Let’s go!!

OEM+ is the way to go with these cars to stand out now; way too many get cut up for widebodies or beat on, so seeing one that is extremely tidy and restrained is a nice change. I kept my S15 largely OEM+ for the same reason. As for tail lights, I had run those exact DMax units as well as another style from them, and ultimately went back to the OEM tails with the amber signals and all. Yes, they look a touch "old" compared to aftermarket offerings but that's the appeal in my eyes, given it's an almost-classic car.

OEM+ builds are a great addition to the collection of videos

I am a fan of the LED headlights and taillights that are now available.

Beautiful build, love the simplicity.

I like the newer taillights without the black surrounds Also I think you should just add another LightningBolt S to the rear and call it a day. Keep the mystique

I like that the celica is on the lift.

I enjoyed the square set-up. The stretched 225 on improperly sized wheels looks like ass. 225 on a proper size wheel would fix that. The OEM taillights painted red look really nice though!

Bring this back in the Spring

Looks fantastic! If only the weather would let up so you could take it for a rip!

All red rear lights by a million miles! I’ve always thought the S15 rear lights were the weak point of the car, and those all reds look excellent.

Modified Stock Taillights for the win! Hands down.

Great series, I am OEM+ at heart. I do like the red and clear taillights.

If you guys had done that c6 zo6 build you'd have to admit how in love you are with both the corvette platform and LS motors 🤔

Awesome guys! Exactly my kind of build, preserving the original goodness. Keep it up!

Loving this project, nice to see a build so local! Great work Speed Academy!

I've always liked the S15 tail lights and personally really like the red on red. I've always felt like the S15 taillights stood out. Shrug I do also really like this type of build and agree that it's nice just do a nice solid OEM+ style build that just a nice car. Nothing crazy... just a nice clean build.

single reverse light is a rare rear foglight option, mainly for Japan am Europe and it is oem, super rare

Has the same conundrum with my tails, ended up going a set from 78works love em👌

Thank you so much for your awesome content. Really enjoy watching you guys. Keeps a smile on my face watching you guys do something I can only dream of. Please keep it up.

I like the new trails seeing them together. I think they'd look better with a light smoke to them. Nothing too dark.

Always top notch content! Keep it coming with the OEM+ builds.

S15 is a sleek sleeper and love the build. Awesome!

Love what you did with car. Everything just flows!

Absolutely loved this OEM plus build. Definitely want to see the car return for some street runs and possibly a track session. Please, more builds like this. This gives us regular guys more of an idea of what we can actually build on a budget. Love it!!!

nice to see an accurate dyno on the internet.

My Mazdaspeed is quiet, unassuming, comfortable and very fast. 320whp on the street is the sweet spot for me.

Love to see the OEM+ restorations

I absolutely love this OEM+ build. It is such a fantastic looking car and optimizing the stock stuff is the way to go. Drive it for many, many street miles.

Great video! I like the original taillights with the amber. I feel having three colors gives more depth but bottom line I feel like it’s just a bad shape from Nissan and can’t shake those Grand Am vibes 😂

Huge fan of this series. Excited to see some test drive footage in the spring!

That's the most bootiful car

Haha that jumper, love it!

I was one of those original chirpers, teasing about the taillights. I must say, I'm also a bit torn on the new taillights. I think I like the new ones just a hair more. That may be because my parents owned two Grand Ams and I was triggered by the stock lights. Much love from Vancouver Island.

nah those Hexaforms look great on the S15. Excellent taste PT.

😯 I'd love to see a g8!! Buddy at work has a livernois built six liter, I like them.

I'd vote for bring it back for the track.

I am so glad i am not the only one sick of seeing every car with the same wheels.

Sounds a looks great. I like the new taillights too. The older ones looked more period to me, but I'm an older JDM guy and used to seeing that look on the S15s.

Hoping to own an S15 in the very near future. Thank you for the build and giving some insight and ideas. Great work as usual gentlemen!

Ha, I was looking at those Mac strap over-tire setups this morning

Despite those who see the grand prix similarities in the oem taillights I think they look way sleeker, and more cohesive. Thank god it looks like an s15 and not a grand prix, but do what y’all like, we trust the vision!

This was incredibly fun to watch as always!

good call on leaving the badges off..always a fan of going badgless

I run 235's and they fit perfect with natural camber.

that Z28 camaro tho!!!! love those wheels, epic car freakin 7l LS

Wheels look great 👍🏼

The new taillights with a light smoke would be PERFECT

The "mismatch" stock tails looks better. Also the driver's taillight's red piece vs the passenger's white reverse pièce actually should be a rear fog light where the reverse light supposed to be.

Loved the oem+ build

I love this build series! The chassis, color, wheels, everything. The few cars I have modified OEM+ is the way to go. That style is the way modern car culture should go (with obvious exceptions, track racing, drag, drift). Not obnoxious for the need to be obnoxious. Keep up the good work gentlemen! Btw I know you guys have a soft spot for older Hondas. I have a 2009 Honda Fit, silver with only 21,500 miles. Clean title. I’d love to see a build series on that or even a “Pimp your ride” kinda thing. Heck if you’re interested in buying it even, that would be epic.

Loved the build, definitely need a test drive and shakedown 🤌

Small cruise vid with this and the rx7 plzzzzz. I'll be the video car in the GR Rolla😂.

i think the wheel choice was great, something different is always refreshing
