NJ Buying a Turbo II Finally! Inputs please!

Okay, Hey guys i've always wanted a rotary engine, love both the FC's and FD's and sadly the FD is out of my budget these days. So i'm getting an FC Turbo II.
I'm really excited but do not know much about these cars/engines.
I've had countless tuned and untuned VWs/Toyotas/Hondas etc.
And can do mild work on them myself but do not have the tools for anything heavy.

Luckily I'm 40mins from JRPimports.com (which i have found to be a great place from what i've read, please feel free to let me know if I am wrong).

The car is actually bone stock down to the cassette deck. It is an S4 with 150,000 miles on it.

I'd just like to know when I pick it up what should i look for? Since I know nothing as i said, I'm looking for any tips for any major/minor flaws.

I do plan on bringing it to JRP asap to have it checked over.

Also is there a link to reliabilty upgrades/mods to do on an S4?
(things that should be replaced right away with either newer version parts or aftermarket parts?)

I think thats it for now, I will upload pictucres as soon as I get it!

Thanks everyone!
