WA 1993 Mazda Rx-7

Here's how it goes, I bought this FD as my first car when I was just about finished with junior year of high school. I've been completely insane about FD's since I was old enough to differentiate what car were what. When I finally had enough money to buy it, I was ecstatic. I bought one that had been modded and I felt that it wasn't really my car so now that I'm in college and about to pursue a job, I thought it was the time to really make the car mine. As for now, there will probably be little to none work done to it until I get a job. Here are a few pictures of it.

I'm currently having an issue with the car that I haven't solved yet. My FD doesn't turn off. I mean, I have to stall it to get it to shut off. Sometimes it does shut off but it only happens 1 or 2 times every week. Do any of you guys have any ideas that you can think of that can be the problem?

Nice car to start with. I'm glad you took those bug eye lights off!
What happened to the front bumper?
