Hi,

I have an RD1 that I have spent alot of time and effort on but now the paint and body work is looking a little rough.

The cost of getting a real good paint job and body pannel repairs is around テつ」2000 in the UK...around $4000

So I was thinking about transfering all my mods over to a newer version of the Tiburon around a 2003 model which I can get for around テつ」3000

Will I be able to just take my engine out of the RD1 and drop it straight into a Gen 3?

Will the alpine supercharger mount up to a Gen 3 along with the rest of the mods in the signature...I don't know what engine it has, might be Beta 2 or newer.

Last but not least, shall I just keep the RD1 and get it restored to factory shine!!.....represent the RD1 scene in the UK!!.....even though my car has no visual mods!! lmao.gif

RD1 into a GK? No. Get the paint job or just buy a GK.

Personally I'd just keep the RD1.

Take a look at some custom coloring options.

Personally I love the RD look, breathing some new life into it with a paint job and a new color could be very rewarding.

(Maybe look at adding some conservative body kits...)
