Uh, no....
That overpriced Jacobs box is only for the LEADINGS, unless they came out with a new one that can fire all three channels.
The HKS unit is the only CDI box on the market that can control all three rotary ignition channels...

If the RX7.com boys stand beside the product then it's OK by me
And it's working pretty good on my FCTURBO

I agree with Ted on this, the Jacobs is way over priced for what you get.
Jacobs own book (the Doctors Guide) says that there is no gain in HP unless you can increase plug gap with most ignition systems.
Of course with the flat 4 electrodes on the NGK plugs in the 13B its almost impossible to to increase the gap any major amount.

I like their "Bonez" line; its like the Lady Lee of the rotary world. If I'm buying an Exedy clutch I would be alot happier to do so knowing I am instead of buying "Bonez performance clutch." WTF is w/ Bonez...?

A lot of the Bonez stuff was rebadged products running under their own name.  The clutches used to be ACT.  The Bonez "cat-back" used to be a Walker Dynomax cat-back that was ceramic coated.  If you compare prices, you will almost guarantee you'll get it cheaper somewhere else.
Look at their Haltech prices?  Do you know you can get a fully loaded Haltech E6K with flying lead for under $1,200 now???
Look at their prices for their FD parts - GReddy replacement belt for $29.95 (K2RD sells them for $15).  Secondary fuel rail kit for $695 with a pair of 1600cc fuel injectors.  Anyone who has poked their head in the Single Turbo sections knows that there's a source for these fuel injectors for $60/each - a $550+ fuel rail???
More FC stuffs...
Fluidyne upgrade rad $549; Absolute Radiator $430
"RP" comp upgrade rad $638; MazdaComp rad $550
"brass" rad $250; you find these under $200 if you look
"RP" double alternator pulley $49.88; RB double pulley $42
Bosch top-feed 1600's $175; we found em for $60/each
etc...etc...etc.
Now, before you get bent out of shape, RP does offer some very hard to find items, like replacement cats, and one of the very few shops that will import hard-to-find Japan (body kit) items...
