1200Km no problems yet. Ive had the idle drop as well and random misfire @ cold start but it smoothens outs within 1-2mins, even when its doing it, its minor. I have the thump when putting it in first gear but its not concerning seeing as the other members have reported it going away after some time.

I also get a bit of a thump when putting it in first gear, but other than that no other issues to report as of yet.

Picked up the FR-S four days ago, have put on 925 km so far.

- occasional idle dip but only down to 500 rpm, not bad.
- bit of wind noise on highway around driver's window leading edge.

- haven't seen any taillight condensation
- panel fit looks fine to me
- haven't noticed any clunk shifting into 1st

I seem to be getting water in the reverse light(s) when I wash the car, or when it rains.

I had a fuel line blow out on Monday morning, but that appears to have been caused by a small rodent gnawing on a couple of fuel hoses. Damn. Had to Macgyver up a solution in the driveway with stuff I had laying around in the garage.

Got the "bucket of crickets" sound now and then.

Idle occasionally dips, but never below 500 rpm. This is pretty normal on a lot of cars, so I'm not really worried about it.

The odd "thunk" when I put it in gear. Maybe my right arm is faster than my left foot, or maybe it is just the nature of this transmission. It doesn't feel "wrong", just different than what I am used to.

No water in the taillights yet.

I've experienced the bolded items. The "thunk" is weird and makes me think I'm screwing up something... hard to tell.
