My advise is to just take good care of it. Very good care of it.
Dont neglect any small problems, do regular oil/coolant changes & regular spark plug changes..same as any rotary. Dont give it boost till warm. Monitor gauges all the time..common sense really.
Dont be a dumbass and you might be ok.
I also sometimes open my bonnet and give the visible vacuum lines and other hoses a little look over and let the car cool down with the bonnet open when I arrive home.

After I bought mine I spent about 2 years just reading posts here. It's a lot to learn.
The most important rule of thumb of owning an FD is to have another car. Preferably a very dependable one.

Since you've got an FC you'll have a fair idea of what you're in for. I've had 2 FCs and now the FD. The FD is a much newer and "better" put together car all round, but at the same time, it's very efficiently put together. It's also a little more complex but nothing too troubling. I take care of my FD much more than my FCs, I guess it's because it still feels like a new car. The FC is a very 80's car. The FD still feels new to me.

+1 Spend a little extra for a nice, clean unabused one.
Bought mine over a year ago and have taken it pretty easy on the car and kept up with maintenance. So far no issues whatsoever over the past year.
