Just like anything else, jump right in. Do some research or lend a hand with a pals project! Gain some basic knowledge related to the project at hand. Keep moving forward. At some point you will have modded every aspect of your car. Wife pissed and money all gone. Haha.80FoxCoupe,
awesome photos.
What I wouldn't do to be your neighbor! You have so much to teach and I would be eager to learn.
Mechanic, auto and aviation, are professions I can respect. It requires both knowledge gained each year, some degree of physical prowess/strength and good problem solving skills to say the least.

I thought rotaries required knowledge of the dark arts to assemble correctly?I have always worked on my stuff. It just seemed like it was part and parcel of being a car guy and a racer. Especially a budget challenged racer. So I learned how to weld, build engines (including rotary engines) and fabricate stuff. I am now at a point where I can pay others to do some of the work but for the most part I still do it myself.
Last Engine I built - Street Ported 13B for my RX7 Race Car
No no no. Not dark arts. You just just sign up for Rotary school at the Shaolin monk monestary in the Henan mountains and study for a few decades.I thought rotaries required knowledge of the dark arts to assemble correctly?
Don't get me wrong, I have done a few items on the car including axles on a front wheel drive and helped with tranny work on Rx-7 and Celica. I just never dove into an engine. My dad use to own a auto parts store when he was young and did lots of work himself all his life. Growing up I never knew what a mechanic's garage looked like. Isn't it funny. I will tear apart brakes which would kill me because I won't be able to stop if I screwed them up but I won't touch an engine which simply won't go.Just like anything else, jump right in.
