Curtis Cooper has always been an S-Chassis enthusiast with a particular interest in the S15 car culture. Cooper says owning the 1999 Nissan Silvia Spec R has been a dream of his, being the most iconic car next to the R34. Staying true to the S-Chassis, he kept the S15 SR20DET but added modifications like Tomei upgrades, ARP head studs and a HKS mushroom intake. Cooper has plans to add ID1300 injectors, a GTX2976 turbo, Z33 transmission, and a possible VE cylinder head conversion.
