Thanks all! Nate, that's a fantastic looking car, and very much like where I want to go with mine. R1 front spoiler, no rear spoiler, slightly lower, otherwise stock. They are such a timeless style that I'm not going to mess with much.

While they obviously aren't the most robust design, I think the rotary gets a bad rep because they are so easy to upgrade. Unfortunately if you crank up the boost without upgrading the cooling system, oil cooling, and address the additional heat under the hood, something will eventually give. This car made it over 90k on the original engine, which isn't great but it's not terrible either. Rebuild prices are pretty reasonable as well, so it's not that frightening of a proposition.
