relability mods?

Im really looking into buying a rx-7 really soon, Ive been looking into them for a while now and I keep hearing diffrent stories about reliability. I plan on purchasing the car with many mods. What should I look for for reliabily (I realize a 400RWHP car can only be so reliable)

One of the biggest problems ive heard are the vacuum hoses and the gaskat. IS this true, what else should I buy the car with updated parts?

read robrinettes site on reliability mods. Also the thing that causes the most problems in the fd is the precat clogging, so get a down pipe.
