Power Steering: Electric assisted
Brakes: Vacuum pump
Tires: Currently just the standard ones but plan to move to a LRR tire in the future.
Other Notes: I currently have over 12k miles on the car. Top speed is limited by gearing more than anything. The DC motor and controller combo are only pushing 350 amps at top speed because I'm at close to 5,000 rpms in 6th gear. I still need to finish the heater and install the AC, but otherwise it's done.
