Thanks for the detailed update. I remain impressed.

And I completely understand the transition back to the gas car - I just ran errands this morning in the electric, with ~20 peak hp, and more like ~14 usable hp. (I pulled over several times to let cars pass me.)

Might be worth heading over to bennelson's Electro Metro build thread and see what he did for brakes in his EV (electric vac pump - though I'm sure you already have something in mind).
