What to look for when searching for a 3rd Gen

I now have the money and am searching for a 3rd gen rx7 5 speed. What should I look for when searching for a 3rd gen. I know these engines dont last long so look for low mileage. Vacuum lines crack, check 5th gear,10-8-10 boost, What esle are common known things that I should look for when searchign fo r a rx-7. Also if anyone around PA is selling one let me know. Thanks

I'm not really that familiar with FD's compared to FC's but maybe post this in the 3rd Gen forum to get lots of replies?

Just got a 93 fd. everything on it seems stock other than a shiny new racing beat exhaust. oil psi is in the green. boost runs 10-12 psi fulll throttle. top speed so far has been 150 while still climbing because of law enforcement concerns. starts right away, no smoke, i think i got a real gem.
