the most common problem with rx-7's of that age and milage is that one of the many cat. convertors tend to clog up so no exhaust can come out. Take it to a good shop and have the cat's checked.

Have the catalytic converters inspected at a reputable shop, as a clogged converter is a common cause of restricted exhaust and limited speed on an RX-7 of this age and mileage.
