As far as the low idle, you might have the dealership take a look see.

For the pulling, first make sure all the tires are at around 35 psi ..... if they are and it still pulls, I understand that most dealerships will align it under warranty.

Now, she does realize the driver's seat will adjust up and down .. ?? If so, and she still has some difficulty, I found it helps having the door all the way open and to practice "twist & turn" moves.

You were right humfrz, the tires were low 20 and 32 in the front 30 and 24 in the rear. The dealer didn't check them before we left as it was late in the afternoon and we didn't have time to wait for the prep and they said bring it back and they would clean it up. I think they should have done the prep before giving the car to us. . After I put 35psi in each tire, the care drove completely differently and I can see why. Also the tire sensor light did not come on? This could be another problem we need taking car of.

Maybe switch car sides in your garage ... ??

My lovely wife is a bit "bottom heavy" and it's interesting to watch her exit our FR-S ..... she sorta lunges at the exit several time .... like building up speed on a swing .....

As our society ages and more of us are still driving, I'm waiting for someone to develop an aftermarket, universal, powered, seat mechanism that moves up, then back, then swivels, then moves out and tilts down......

Yep, it could be a bad sender unit(s). I'm old school, I never trust those dang things .... I still check the tire pressure with a gauge (not digital - cause I don't trust them either)....

Who is the Realtor ..... you or the mrs .... or both .. ??

After my first retirement, I became a real estate broker in Washington for 12 years.

I hope you get your car all settled down...

I was hoping it would be somewhere like New England or at least the East coast.

Why? Because I'v been wanting to take a fall driving trip in a FR-S, following the fall season from New England down the East coast and I don't want to drive all way across country.

So, I was going to offer to pick up your car and break in for you, by driving it a few thousand miles around the East coast.

Am I a nice guy or what .....


humfrz

lol I appreciate the offer. I have family in Northeast PA so I will probably be down that way after I get my FR-S from KC

WELCOME to the group, @DopaDubXi ......

Just jump in!

A good way to find out what has been unearthed on this forum about the FR-S is to ..... search. Yep, a good way to do that is to use the google search engine by slamming "site:ft86club.com" (sans quotes) into the search block .... followed by your criteria/question.

Have a great forum experience. CAUTION: You don't NEED all the mods that you will run across ....

What's up everyone! Been lurking around here a while and figured it's time to start posting. I picked up a '14 Raven FRS 6MT back in October and have been putting around it it.

It's an absolutely awesome car. I can't wait to start modding.

Plenty of plans in store, I'll start a build thread when the wheels I want become available in the US.

.... @Crazy Drew !

"Putting around" .... I haven't heard that phraise since the Model A days ....

Yep, you need some mods to get that machine out of "putting mode" ....
