sorry to hijack, i crashed my rx7 last month :(
i can buy the car back from the insurance company for 1000, but basically if im not going to get £1500 for the engine then i really cant be bothered going through the the hastle of taking everything to bits.

the car had about 80000 kilometers on it, it was rebuilt by a guy who used to work for mazda 2 years (6000 miles ago) all ive got docs wise though is a receipt for a rebuild kit which i think came from hurley motors or something.. so basically theres no docs, but the engine ran strong, never had any problems starting it, got rolling road results from wgt when i took it there..

Basically am i going to be able to sell the engine easily for £1500 ? so i know to take them up on the offer of keeping the car
also am i likely to get anything decent prise wise for my mazdaspeed 747s - http://www.b4mrx.com/115_1541.JPG
they do need a bit of a refurb (they are not mint for the anal minded :))

thanks for your help

Hi mate what year is your car. Is the £1500 the lowest you will go, i have found a brand new rebuilt block for that price but it doesnt include any ancillaries. When you engine was rebuilt any modifications done to it?
