Smile Mazda Rx-7 FD Drift build

So I'll Keep Updating this thread slowly as time goes andI get more parts,
but im taking delivery of my Mazda rx-7 sometime this week, when i do, i'll take a picture and upload it here...

But about this drift build, i dont know as much about the wankle rotary as much as a standard piston driven engine... so im going to ask for help....
I bought this Mazda from a friend of my parents and he said that theres only one problem...
He said that the car will just fully shut off like the engine gives out, and i asked about what that could be on my first post...
i got to searching and its a couple of things that the problem could be...
it could be the alternator, ignition switch, sensors, or the fuel pump...
I do NOT want to take it to the body shop until i want it repainted a midnight purple III...
How do I figure out what is the problem?

I would start with fuel. Put a permanent fuel pressure gauge on the car. If you see anything out of the ordinary while driving, replace the fuel pump hanger (it has a connector that goes bad) and put in a supra Denso pump.
