If you want to be baller add in ambient temp, clock, and wifi signal strength. As for racing pedals.. what's wrong with the stock ones that are very easy to heel/toe in already.

There are two tips which you'll need to employ to make sure everything works out ok. First, make sure that you wire up an in-line fuse to your primary power wire. It's a safety thing. Second is you will need to wire in an additional ground wire to your senders. I've had multiple RX8 owners (including myself) complain about major variations in sensor accuracy (as much as 20 degrees difference). We found that the resistance over the ground wire was rather high. Wiring in another ground fixed this problem and now the gauges are within +/- 5 degrees.
