Some questions about rx7 platform

So, i drive a TT 3000gt, and am considering a different platform to build up. I have a bunch of questions i'd appreciate if you guys could answer. ( BTW, do you have something akin to www.mkiv.com (supra) www.stealth316 (3si) ? can find alot of info on those kinds of sites)

First, whats the reliability of the motor? How does it respond when modded?
How labor intensive is modding/maintenance? From the pic's that i've seen it actually looks like its a pretty open ended system, with decent room under the hood to manuever.
How is money invested v reward (ie: 1/4 mile times) ?
Any problematic issues? I've read about crappy paint on 93 cars, I also know from researching the rx8 that despite the low displacement, the cars have marginal fuel economy at best.
What should I look for when inspecting one for purchase?

Thats all I can think of for now, you will probably see me around alot more and i'll be prodding around until I become educated. 2800lb platform is more the enticing.
Thanks.

Thanks for link, although the search picture is a tad bit tedious at this point given that I can gather 5x the information from someone who knows it , rather then smash thread links hoping I entered the correct keyword in an attempt to salvage some vestige of information.

So you'd rather someone else spend 20 minutes answering your post instead of spending that time yourself searching.

*All* of your (very basic) questions are answered in the sticky at the top of the page.
