Best thing is to take it apart, and see if you can sell a rear rotor and a rotor housing, or maybe front, mid and rear steel plates... Otherwise you lucky to get $75 for a core

It depends on what needs to be replaced, but it probably wouldnt be worth it since you would need apex seals, and I think usually when they break, they tear up the housing too.

If you know how to rebuilt it, take it apart, street port it for better performance, replace the apex seal and put it back together. you can find a used rotor housing in usable condition on the net. Try ebay or www.thepartstrader.com they have an RX-7 section.
