Red face Need help asap please on n/a

Ok i'm hoping everyone knows me and i keep on telling everyone that i am having alot of problems with my car and i try to get people over but it doesn't end up good so my question is that will anybody be free this week since it is spring break for me i have alot of free time and i would like to get my car started. Ummmm so this is what i have so far 87 Rx7 non turbo. Changed out the starter, alternator is good, battery is good, vaccum lines are good, had leaky injectors but had them cleaned, spent about 10 dollars worth of intake and throttle body cleaner (to clean out the carbon), and had fuel filter replace. Now compression wise i dont know yet because my engine hasn't been running for a while as in about 5 months or less but i can tell you my haynes book says that I need atleast 85 psi at 250rpm that which should be cranking amps but i didn't get 85 i got 60 now if i was me i think that is bad. If i'm wrong than let me know now i did use that atf trick but i read up on it and they said that it is bad because atf destroys oil rings so i used engine oil and i did everything with it. I know this is the wrong place to do this but i need help that is the main thing help right away i'm tired of not driving it. thanks

60 psi is bad, but it will run.

Have you tried charging the battery and pull starting it?

He means pulling the car behind another vehicle while someone inside the car works the clutch and spins the engine long enough to try to start it. Saves wear on the starter/ battery. By the way, I'm in OKC (actually Edmond). What part of the city are you in? I may be able to help you this week. I am a mechanic (for 31 years) and have rotary experience (own 2 of them). You can pm me with questions if you like.
