i say just buy some engines, rebuild em, put em in your car, make some power, show friends
blow them up, make better motors, more power, show more people, blow t hem up
do it over and over and over, keep showing people, help out people, start charging little $ etc
i have people call me daily for help / opinons. unforunaly most of the rotary people around here are diy'ers, hwoever i have made a turbo v6 eclipse, helped turbo'ing a subie rs, am helping make a 200ish hp 1g mr2 etc etc.
Just start somewhere, and keep at it,

Yeah I basically have been working on cars and machinery since I've been able to walk.
Eventually I started working for a Rotary Shop, but was turned off on how they treated customers and their cars. So now I'm building motors and working on RX-7 myself. I'm soon going to have to quit my day job just to keep customers happy lol.

I learned alot on my own, at first, by rebuilding my own motor in Highschool, then as much as I could from the resources available in North America, off the shelf books etc etc. Then I went to Japan 3 times, met some of the worlds best, worked for a couple of high end tuning shops over there and started to learn Japanese to read the books for the finer points of the motor. Now I'm just dangerous.....
All the best guys I know for rotary knowledge though, worked directly for mazda in Hiroshima as factory mechanics, and I think working for mazda at some point would give you alot of insight into the cars you just wouldnt get anywhere else.
