Dylan Sharpe purchased his 2002 Nissan Silvia with the intention of building what he calls a perfect build. Having already had experience with the S15 chassis, he knew what he was looking for, and as soon as he found the right one for sale, he was en route with a trailer. Fast forward to today and that car he purchased has been completely transformed into a competition-ready street car.
