Clutch/tranny and Brakes/ABS problems

Clutch/Tranny

When ever I go to engage the clutch in first gear to drive it feels like the car has a blow rotor, it does not want to move, its like sputtering, I try to rev the engine and it stays at or below 1200 rpm.... Its a brand new engine and clutch kit. The pedal feels normal (its been bleed) and strong, tranny shifts in all gears good, I have no clue as to what the problem would be....

Brakes/ABS

I have not brakes until its right abive the floor, the hand brake works. The brakes were bleed as well. Ever since I restarted the enigne the ABS light is on, the ABS unit was bleed as well.... Could the dead brakes have anything to do with the ABS?

I would really appreciate any help possible, right now I am at the point of either beating the **** out of the car, or selling everything and getting out of the RX7 business altoghter. I have one problem, and when that gets fixed another comes right up......

I was looking into it further and I think its a throttle problem not the clutch/tranny...

Does anyone make an ABS removal kit?

ABS removal:
I saw a writeup but I forget where.
He bought the non-ABS brake tubes from Mazdatrix.
He then replaced the ABS lines with the stock ones from the rear T at the axle, all the way forward.

If you remember where you saw it please let me know.... I would rather keep it, but if the unit needs replaced, I do not want to spend $1200 for a new one. It was working fine before, now I have no brakes...
