I can't find the links to some good FC3S RX-7 buyers guides, but here are a few RX-7 specific things to look for off the top of my head:
- get compression check done (even with that newish engine, just to make sure)
- exhaust system (rx-7's have hot exhaust, and the systems don't last long)
- condition of belts
- transmission synchros and shifting (i think 5th gear is the "problem" gear)
- ask him if it's ever been overheated since the new engine was installed
- condition of engine hoses (prone to cracking and deteriating)
