Steering Problems
When turning to the right, after going right so far on the steering wheel, the cars seems to turn or go fast to the right, I have ball joints and other basic stuff put on new. But, I don't drive the car because if I go above 30 mph it's scary to drive, when going around turns. Going to the left is no problem. What do you think is wrong? I have two junk rx-7's for parts.

Welcom to the forum...
Have you ever driven a Rear Wheel Drive car befor? They (especially RX7's) are tail happy. They run loose by their very nature. There is a lot of snap steer in an RX7.
I managed to spin my '85 GSL on Dry Pavement in July just by making a hard left turn.
The tires you have can also have an effect on the handeling charateristics of the car.
All in all RX7s like to spin around.
I'll be in New Brunswik tomarow afternoon I am passing through on my way to PEI
Good luck

Prosthetic head.
I wouldn't start tearing your car apart just yet. Sevens ARE tail-happy, and at around that same speed, I have noticed a distinct change in handeling as apposed to other speeds.
No, I'm not assuming you're stupid, but you DO know FB's don't have power steering, correct?
