-What essential readouts is the BRZ missing? I was leaning towards oil temp, oil pressure, and accelerometer.
-I was also toying with the idea of custom making an analog look meter driven by a stepper motor. I've found several companies willing to print or etch gauge faces that I like/draw/etc.
-I also though that if I ever make this a kit of some sort I'd power it via the obd II port...although I have no plans to read from the obd II port...and no plans to make a kit...
Basically if you could make it, what would it look like and what would it do?
For the mods: I'm not selling anything (at least yet)...all of the code is open source...etc.

The BRZ/FR-S/GT-86 (hereto referred to as "the 86" or "the twins") isn't really missing much, but it doesn't display everything. With custom PIDs, accurate (Very accurate... the factory primary 02 sensor has turned out to be very accurate and effectively a good wideband for NA useage) AFR, coolant temp, oil temp, and (iirc) IATs are readable from the ECU. Basically, depending on powerplant application (NA, SC, or TC), you still need boost and MAYBE EGTs, and (only if you really want to) oil pressure.
For turbo: coolant and oil temps, IAT, AFR, and boost. For SC: boost with failsafe if running a wastegate, coolant and oil temps, IAT, AFR. For NA: coolant and oil temps, IAT.
Anything else is pure personal preference and DBL (das blinken lights).
