tires, suspension, Control arms deffinetly and subframe connecters, You can pick them up weld on for like 50$ used. Good thing to have. You could have gears installed also ,not sure with out taring it all down Pull the pan of the rear and see what it says.

well you need control arms, but you should have taken him easy with the gears you gotta keep the foot down a bit until your higher gears, dont accellerate too fast or you will jump sideways. Tiburons are slow
