(1) how are you starting it, what are you calling "a long time to do"
(2) did you read the FAQ for FC sticky thread at the top of this section??? It covers rev'ing starts ups.
(3) Also sounds like your TPS is out of adjustment
(4) what color smoke? does it go away ever??

Apex seals gone, and the engine only runs on one rotor. It is quite noticeble. Don't trust anything the other person told you.
Oil seals now; they could be leaking. How much oil is the engine running through???

My RX-7 rev's up to 3000 RPM everytime I start it when cold
Yep, part of the accellerated warm up process. Start the car with the clutch pressed in, and the car in gear if you don't want it to do that.
