IF the headlights come on, then your problem is a blown Main fuse. It's in the middle and held in with two 10mm socket size bolts.
It's easy to prove. Put a meter on the alternators large output terminal with the key on or off. Matters not. Should read batt voltage there on that large terminal. No batt voltage means the Main fuse is gone.

sounds like a dead or disconnected battery.
But I would hope that before he posted that he check the battery at very least.
And the bump has been deleted . Bumps are forbidden here in the 2nd gen RX-7 technical section
