take the starter out and have it tested
also is the car turning over at all or do you get absolutely nothing from turning the key?

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Take a voltmeter or test light and measure from the large wire on starter to ground. If it lights or you have 12volts cable from battery is good.
Turn key to ON position
and measure for 12 volts on the small wire. Do you have it? if yes starter is probably bad. If no move to ignition switch.
With small wire(solenoid) off of starter and ignition switch on take a 12gauge wire and jump from Pos+ on battery to where the small wire was on starter. if the starter is good car should start.
Does your car have a clutch safety switch...?
