RX7 cons and Q's

I'm looking at buying a 3rd gen RX-7, and was wondering about the disadvantages, and problems of owning one. what common problems do they have?Like the cooling system... I heard that they run very hot, Is there a good/easy way to prevent this? Also I was reading about larger displacement motors, and one's with 3 rotors. How is this done? how do they fit a 3rd rotor in, or is it a completely different motor? Do they bore out the cylinder and stick in larger rotors? Etc... Any info is greatly appreciated

Thanks,
K.Reed

I'll answer the easy question. The 3 rotor is an entirely different motor. 20B is the 3 rotor, 13B is the two rotor. 13B-REW is the 2 rotor, twin turbo that the 3rd gen (FD3S as you'll probably see it, or FD) has. You're other questions require alot more info so I'll refer you to the following sites.
