Hey everyone

I just got my FR-S last week and so far I love it, but I'm having a problem of sorts.

I'm a really nervous guy, always have been, and before I got the car I spent a lot of time reading up on all the problems people have had. In fact I still do that pretty frequently.

I'm still in my break-in period, currently at around 550 miles. I've noticed slight RPM dip but no real shudders and never below 500 RPM so I think this is normal, since normal idle is ~650 and we all know the compressor draws power for the A/C which can cause dips.

I also noticed that I get the 'crickets' noise, but only occasionally. I've only heard it like 2-3 times so far.

TLDR: There's probably nothing wrong with my car, but I'm a panicky kind of guy and I sometimes I worry that I'm going to get catastrophic engine failure out of the blue or something.

So If you can, throw statistics at me to make me feel like I'm being stupid. Or just say something encouraging lol. I legitimately love this car and I DON'T regret it as a purchase. I'm just a worrywart.
