it seems like my coolant seal is busted, car's been eating coolant for last two weeks, and some white smoke out the tailpipe. besides that my car runs perfectly fine. the motor has about 78,000km. i have several options with the car, but one is if i were to part EVERYTHING, (except for the shell), out how much would i get? the reason for this is because i'm in korea and car is useless to a buyer with the busted seal. it would be way too much work if i were to rebuild it and stuff, it would be $5000 to rebuild it here in korea. now here are some of the accessories i have on the car,
border vented hood and matching fenders, a nice fiberglass wing(maybe a c-2 hammer?), c-west headlight kit, 18inch AVS model 7 rims, several hks gauges(boost, oil temp, oil pressure), momo shifter and steering wheel, border k&n air filter box, exaust, turbo timer... thats all the accessories i can think off my head and i would still have the engine parts, suspension, shocks, brakes, etc... shipping for me would be same as if i were to ship from the states, so thats no problem. this really would be my last resort, but i have to know to weight in on my decision. your help would be very appreciated. thanks.

how much for the cwest lights? Are there no competent mechanics their? Tried pricing a rebuild and air freight? If I remember correct your car is pretty bitchin and you got it for around 7500. It's worth another 5000 to me to fix it. but thats my opinion.What color is your car?

BigIslandSeven - its like goldish orangish color with black cloth interior. yes there are no competant rotary mechanics here, there are only about 100 to 200 rx-7's running around here. and i don't want to put $5000 in the car cause i can't take it back to the states anyways. and yeah i bought it for $7400...

Bite the bullet and rebuild it, or at least get a re-man.
If you're not going to sell the shell you're not going to get much. You might have a few grand in parts, depending on how far you want to tear this down and how much time you have to tear it down, plus it would be just a shame to see yet another FD bite the dust just because of a blown engine....too sad.
If you're going to give up this easy maybe just sell it for what you can and get a Mustang, or maybe a Camaro.
You pay freight to the states and I'll give you $6k.

bring it to the US in pieces or as a race car. my wife is a lawyer and we looked into importing them. this was one way to avoid EPA regs. you'd have a very unique FD here in the states
