rx7 mechanic in the making

from the first hand experience i am getting from working on the 4 rx7's dr.jones63(dad) mk.jones63(mom) mine, and my brothers, i am hoping to one day open a shop just for rx7s.... at only 14, almost 15 i started getting into the one rx7 we had, which was my dads that Hayes screwed up. When i found out that he was going to buy 2 more, one 10th AE for my brother, and a "hot rod" potential rx7 for me, i was thrilled. since we've gotten our 4th 7, and probably not the last, i really wish to use the skills im so lucky to be getting at a young age to help everyone else the way in a way that can be more smooth and done right the first time than [cough]hayes[cough]...anyways....my question is...

does anyone have an idea of where a prime spot for an rx7 shop would be?...(somewhere in the NW {washington perferably})...

It's great for a while, then it starts to get old and you aren't as thrilled

I work on my rx7, my rx8, and a few of my friends rx7's, and honestly I'm starting to get burnt out doing most of the "normal" work on them and am getting less enthusiastic about working on them.

It's good you have this drive, hopefully it stays, but once you start fixing stuff on a regular basis, rebuilding engine, tearing down the engine partially to fix oil pressure problems, trying to hunt down 15 different leaks it seems like, oh man does it get annoying

Good luck!

Somewhere easy to get to, ie tacoma/seattle/spokane/etc
The thing you need the most is competitive prices and good advetising though
