Paint quality - I have several rock chips that just ripped the paint right off
Does my car have orange peel as a joke to my Hot Lave car, or should they renaim the color to Orange Peel?

That sucks Spartan65! Out of curiosity, what build number is your car?

Am I the only one getting wind noise from the drivers window @ ~ 70mph?

I mean no offense by this, but many are waiting for answers.

We have no idea what has happened about these issues. Although we did get the play-by-play announcements up to this meeting, but then were left without a result.

The OP has been online during this time, but hasn't replied about this post, either positive (toyo peeps 'heard' the complaints and are making changes/dealing with them) or negative (this meeting's results/agenda is not fit for public/forum consumption). If Toyo/Sub master techs/enginerds want this info to stay privlidged, then its cool to say so.

What gives OP? No judgement at all personally if the information in this meeting is privlidged to the manufacturer, but most of us were given the idea that there may be some movement on the FR-S initial concerns/problems based upon the content of the original posts and those following this thread.

If there is no response, could the mods just close this down so we can stop monitoring this post?

Thanks again,

Eric G

Add onto #3 Paint quality. Rocker Panel Drivers side door, treated with the Red Undercoating, has chipped off, it's a size of a pee, and its down to primer.

To have the car produced at Toyota's plant instead of Fuji Heavy Industries would solve the paint issue.

Why does the idle RPM drop as the engine oil temperature goes up?

Everytime I start the car, the idle RPM is at around 1k - 1.8k

Drive it for a while, next time you start the car and when the engine is warm (that engine oil temp thingy), the idle rpm drops significantly to roughly 500 rpm.

Thats the way pretty much every car is designed. Its to help the car warm up faster. IIRC it also has something to do with the catalytic converters getting up to temp.
