Might be flooded real bad. Do a search on UNFLOODING. BAsically they will tell you to pull two fuses, remove the plugs, crank it over to rid the chambers of fuel, throw in a squirt of atf or oil, reinstall clean plugs and the fuses and fire it up. Might have to repeat a few times. make sure your battery is charged well.

try unpluggin the cd-player, and putting in the stock one (if your friend had any experience he probably used a harness adapter). I'm not sure, but the security system on the rx-7's might be tied in with the head unit somehow.
If your friend just cut and crimped the wires, don't let him install any more of your stereos :P
