Unhappy Make my FD more reliable!

Basic overview:
I have a '93 FD, purchased in August, from a previous owner who got it as a theft recovery salvage title. A 15,000 mile used engine was installed along with a new ECU, power steering pump &mount, air filter box, pulsation damper, intercooler and all intercooler piping, starter, coil harness, oil cooler and lines, BOV, battery& tray, shifter, air&oil filter, pre-cat, O2 sensor, spark plugs and wires, rear main seal, pilet bearing& seal, and numerous bolts and hoses(by Yokohama).
All said, my basic question is this; what can I do to make my RX7 less prone to malfunction and/ or overheat while trying to learn how to drive such an incredible car? My major concern is that I'll do something stupid and blow the engine. Also, I don't need pre-cats or cats in my state, if that helps at all.

Get an aftermarket radiator. Heat is the all mighty killer.

I agree. Less wear and tear on the FD and down time is not a problem. But what do I know my daily driver is a 1st gen and that one is down also.
