rx7 problems sell or keep?

Okay here is the story. I did a bunch of work to my rx7 and then I sent the car to enhanced street performance to have it tuned(they pulled in a outside tuner for it). When I got my car back they tuned just a base tune and the car idled like crap and they told me a need a iac. I had paid them extra cash to make sure there was nothing wrong with the car. When I was driving the car it sounded like it was running like complete crap. So I took propane to the intake manifold and I noticed I had a huge vac leak. I bought new gaskets and then the car didn't idle. So I continued to drive the car running like crap with no idle for 600 something miles. The last day I drove the car it was flooding itself so much that I almost couldn't make it on the highway(because of the fixed vac leak and because the engine was coming up on compression). I would like to get it tuned but I think I just wanna sell it.

Here is whats in the car

rebuilt 13b(2 new rotor housings and a new front plate)
s5 intake swap
2 550cc and 2 720cc injectors that were freshly clean, patterned, balaned and matched by Rc enginerring
relocated battery(rear storage bin)
Deleted ps/ac
s5 power steering rack,then depowered it
exedy clutch kit
mazdatrix lightweight aluminum flywheel
Mazdatrix short shifter
Pineapple racing alternator relocation kit
Pineapple racing 5th and 6th inserts
ford focus electric fan
full racingbeat exhaust with highflow cat
Rmagic ground wire kit
koyo aluminum rad
K&n air filter
full racing beat suspension kit
4 kyb agxs
1998 mustang gt rims with brand new tires
racing beat strut tower bar
mazdatrix underdrive main pulley
Racing beat stainless oil cooler lines
momo steering wheel with quick release
haltech e8 with custom wiring tuned at esp
Haltech tps with custom bracket
Haltech Iac
lc1 wideband

The pictures are old but the 1st pic is when I had first got the engine in before the haltech ecu or wiring. When I go back to my house next weekend I will take more pics(I snapped a strut rod in my dd and new ones are coming). Does anyone wanna make me an offer?

uhh oh... esp coming up short..... i knew somthing was fishy when they thought my old FD's stock intercooler was water to air..... i don't think they have any idea of what and how a rotary works, let alone tuning. and the guy that did the tune obviously has no clue. maybe i could help...

They (ESP) did a nice job rebuilding the tranny on our AE. Good thing we didn't ask them to do any tuning!
