New here, Rx7 inside

Hey what's up guys
I'm new here on the Rx8club.com but I'm a member 'til '07 on the Rx7club.com
I have the possibility to buy an 2003 Rx8 with 160K kilo here in Qc and I'm looking on some info on what to look at on an Rx8
I have a FD3S that I bought in '07 and love it, it's my track/drift/daily car in summer but I want another Rx for the winter :D (I'm a big fan of the rotary's )
Here some pics of my FD with my future bought if everything goes on like it supposed to

Compression, compression, compression (get the message?)
Some have started finding rust in front of the rear wheel too. Beyond that, the normal stuff.

I understand the blue thing. All my RX's have been black.

It's out of warranty. Check if the engine has been replaced or not.
Otherwise, I'd look for another. Unless, you plan to just mod the **** out of it!? Then, go for it, if the price is right

Nice FD, btw

Thanks
For the price that I'll pay for it even if the engine is blown I'll be happy... I'm a tech in a Toyota dealership and a girl will trade the 8 for a Yaris :p You know dealership won't pay a lot for an "old rotary car" :D So I'm paying the "not a lot" anyway I'll check the compression on it (I bought the special tool to check it on the FD)
Yeah my FD is RHD... It's one of the first that arrive in Quebec in 2007 :p
here some pics just for you
