Wink any help appreciated

I know this may have been asked on many occasions but im not a big forum user so hope you guys can directly help me out. Im going to view an rx7 tomorrow. Its only the third rx ive viewed. The last one being about a year and a half ago when i gave up my search due to severe lack of rx7s locally, and being massivley overpriced. However i am back in the hunt and due to view a 92 silver rx7 tomorrow. Has 66k on the clock, apparently had rebuild at some stage with receipts photos etc. Im wondering what exactly to look out for. I know the obvious like paintwork defects, interior defects, gearshift/synchro probs. Lack of boost poor cold/hot start and any signs of smoke leaks etc. Im a time serviced mechanic but have no experience with rotarys what so ever so if anyone can point me to some big red flashing no nos to look out for that would be great cheers.

There are links to some buyers guides. Also read up in that thread about coolant seals and compression.
