Rotary Mechanics
Where do the people who work at Tripoint Engineering and Mazdatrix learn so much about Rx7 engines? If i wanted to work for these places how should I start?

If I were you I'd go visit good ol' Jeff at Rotary Power in Gardena. Never met anyone who is better with the rotary. 20 yrs of experience including work done on Able Ibarra and Adam Surwutari

I used to know some guy at my school whose dad was a mechanic at Mazda, and he had been working with rotary engines since they came to the states. Now he is retired, but the guy at school told me the guys from Tripoint call him if they get into trouble with an engine, and he does seminars about rotaries. Wish I still knew the guy, its been over a year since I saw him at school.

Is there some sort of class that is available that I can take to get my feet wet? Anything...
I've read this board so much that i basically know a response to a question before i read the second post in a thread. and i dont even have an rx7.... nor any car for that matter. I want visual experience damnit.

Blow up or win
Why not go to school and get certified to work on cars, period? The basic stuff you'll need to know is there - and then you could go to work for a good shop specializing in rotaries, (get a mentor) or work there on a part time basis while going to school - then open your own business.
There is a tremendous demand for mechanics right now (there is a current deficit of about 4,000 a year) and will be in the future. $100.00 an hour is what my mechanic gets for specializing in rotaries, and he is worth it!
Let's see, $100.00 an hour X 40 hours a week X 12 months = $192,000 a year - pretty damn good pay if you ask me, even if you do have to get your hands dirty....and the bonus is that rotaries are REALLY easy to work on compared to boingers.
They just SEEM exotic........
