I think this project is cool

It just shows what can be done with a $15 Arduino applied to car.

One project I've seen; a Japanese car with fully prototyped coilovers & controlled by Arduino. Two independent stepper motors per coilover, a set of both bevel and worm gear box, cardan joints and shafts. Its working and incredible (and heavy lol). Dynamic tuning while driving/racing with pressure sensors, and he has the ability to select a static ride height and preload pre-set for any given road trip.
