MD Oh boy what did i just buy

Hello I'm new to forums so please bear with me, I just bought a 08 40th anniversary RX-8 with a brand new motor in it. The previous owner was a rotary specialist and while he was doing the rebuild he also threw in a sohn OMP, upgraded LS coils, and the R3 starter. He told me the motor would still be in the break in period so startups would take a little longer then a perfectly healthy motor but overtime it will start to get better as the apex seals start to break in. I posted a clip seeing if i can get anyones thought if i should be worried or not.

A little bit about myself, this RX-8 would be my 4th car ive owned in my 2 years of driving... The first was a 07 Hyundai Santa Fe which was handed down to me which was fine until reverse gear decided to become a second neutral, so that was gone.... After that i got a 07 Lexus IS250 (too poor to afford a 350) I bought myself which I modified (pics attached). Soon i decided instead of being a stance boi i wanted to go to the track upcoming season so i parted the lexus out, sold it, then bought a 2011 Mazdaspeed 3. I got alot of the supporting mods done (sway bars, coilovers, motor mounts, tires / wheels, cooling) and on September a lady pull out in front of me and totaled it. With the insurance money i said "f*** it ima just get a rx-8" and now im here..... currently in the process of paint correcting the rx
