Series 1 rx7 not starting... New plugs and have fuel and no smoke??? help

Just have been at rotary reunion in taupo NZ. first day i was starting it easiest its ever done... first turn of the key and no pumps on the gas. after a few runs it started to idle like it wasnt timed right and then all of a sudden it wouldn't start...

she starts with a crash start every time and have changed plugs twice.. checked for spark and defiantly getting fuel.

Few months back timing was well advanced so i spun the dissi rotor one tooth and got that all centered but now according to a guru it runs its best when its well advanced again.

i was running it to 10K down the straight every time and did about 20 laps... possible belt slipping???

any help much appreciated

compression test

at 10k it's pretty easy to chew through housings.
