Things I'd like to tweak:

The gauges in my car. A lot of newer cars are set up so that all the gauges do a full sweep when the car starts. It's kind of pointless, but I think it looks cool. It can't be that hard to do, right?

The autofocus on this lens is slow and noisy. Could a more powerful AF motor be installed?

These are fun to play with ^_^ There's tons of off-the-shelf components for improving performance, but it might be cheaper to do a home-brew project. And maybe a reflex system that automatically jerks the steering the right way when it's about to tip over.

Casio G-Shocks come in a wide variety of models, with different features and styles, but collectors always wish they could have all of their favorite features in their favorite package. Could new features be added to an existing module and still be accessible through the 4-button interface?

It's a total pain in the ass to reset the perpetual calendar mechanism on this watch when the battery dies. It involves opening the case and using a pin to short several contacts to the body and getting feedback from the gestures the second hand makes. Can a device be built to interface directly with the "calendar chip" or whatever is in there so I can just input the date with a computer?
