my car is a year older and has done 20k miles more. In the last 5k or so miles I've had to replace the clutch master and the steering rack (plus I did the column as well as there was play in the top). I'm still on the originals of the rest of your list.

Check the steering column uj's and bushings for wear. Also you might want to think about a quaife LSD over the standard diff. Even the "upgraded" hydratrak that the Tuscan S has doesn't feel all that great as it'll still spin up an inside rear a little before it locks up.
