extending engine life expectancy
im new to the whole rotary business so ive been doing some reading. am i correct to assume that if you put a high flow oil pump, higher oil pressure, upgraded oil cooler, higher capacity oil filter, upgraded radiator, and high flow water pump on the series 1 engine it would last longer? perhaps not as long as a series 2 since they have an additional oiler but is that not the gist of what mazda did to ensure a longer life span for their prized renesis?

The automatic transmission cars came with one oil cooler. The manual's with two. Unless you are road racing the car, there shouldn't be a need to upgrade.
Higher cap oil filter, upgraded radiator & high flow water pump not necessary, unless you are racing.
Some have gone way beyond 100K miles before a rebuild is required. Others have had problems. Any mod you make to the car will not be as rigoristly tested as the car was delivered by Mazda. The only thing that I would suggest for a normal street driven car is to move to a heavier than suggested weight of oil and to consider pre-mixing (look it up) to increase the longevity of the engine.
