Default Rx7 Epic Fail, need help!

Okay so this Rx7 has been a headache ever since I got it. I thought the starter was bad so I changed it, and it started up right away. Then a few hours later it doesn't start at all. There is now no power inside or out to anything on the car. I checked the main fuses, and battery with a voltmeter. They're all good. Anyone in the San Jose area good with electrical problems? I'll pay, I need this fixed asap. It's my DD until my Z is out the shop.

Sorry, just fixed it.

Stupid screw-in type battery terminals. Last owner jerry rigged it with some wierd bolts and washers, and sometimes the battery would connect... and I think it just finally gave loose. New battery. New starter.

For those of you who haven't seen my beautiful headache:
