Brings up a thought or two from me also.  I am right at that point where I 
am ready to grind on the aft section of my Legacy, and I will be hanging a 
Mazda 20b rotary that I am working on now, on the front.  I will be capable 
of up to 450+ hp with the turbo setup I am working on, and so anticipate 
speeds up near the envelope, where ever that is.  Is there a way I can do 
this reinforcing now?  Should I?  If so, how?  Also, do the speed mods 
really help that much?  I am standing here with glass and epoxy in hand 
awaiting input.....(:-)
Thanks;
Greg Ward
Legacy #178, in process
