Gnats/Flies in my FRS
 
Just wondering if it's just my FRS but since the day I took delivery I've noticed at least 15-20 nats or small flies in the interior and trunk area. I wanted to find out where they are coming from but had no luck. I even found 3 dead under the spare tire. The area I park at work or at home doesn't seem to ever have these type of nats/flies.

It's more humorous to me then anything, but i'm wondering if anyone noticed this.

Not I.

Haven't noticed any on the interior. But they're all over my front bumper. x_X

Maybe this is the FR-S/BRZ answer to the Supra JDM Spiders?

*Gnats

Gnats usually means there was probably some stagnant moisture somewhere in your car. They were probably there while the car was in transport.

This is what i'm worried about. I hope there isn't some puddle of water that would eventually lead to rust. Not sure where else to check other then the trunk

This happened to my civic. I guess there was water in the trunk and it ended up rusting so bad that I ripped a big hole out of the bottom when I got a flat tire and tried to get the spare out.

Perhaps try putting some DampRid in your trunk.

Thanks. I'll pick up some of that tonight and leave it there for a few months. The trunk area is fine since I already lifted the spare out. I'll probably put it in the interior

I did not see on the PDI list anywhere that removing a dead body from the trunk was a standard procedure............. :happyanim:

You sure that isn't a standard feature?

I've noticed if I wash the car and go to sit in it, it sounds like a bucket of water is being poured out from somewhere. I have no idea where the water comes from, but I'm guessing it gets stuck in a body panel somewhere.

This is not good.

December 2012 is rapidly approaching and I think we have stumbled upon the source of the impending armageddon.

Japan, earthquake, radiation...you have Mothra spawning from your trunk! Kill it with fire quickly!
