wow, 4qt per 1K miles you'll never need to do an oil change again... just keep pouring more.

after 10k miles or so, no issue... i know cause each oil change i would fill to the top dot, no smell, oil at near top dot on dipstick every other week or so i checked.
Yeah check it out (the vids).... pretty sweet. I almost got the STi, but wifey said no way jose because she thinks the scoop is "ugly". I'm like...whaaaaaaaat? But yeah, I mean, of course I still think the Z is wayyyyyyy sexier, esp in coupe guise.

Now about oil consumption really quick.... Do you guys think it has anything to with the way the engine was broken in for the first 1100 miles? I have my rpm shift light set at 4k rpm, per the manual says, but I have a few times rev'd it to 5k not on purpose, but because I was getting into it... I hope that's still ok??!?!?!?

i doubt it has anything to do with the break-in unless you're pounding on the gas to redline frequenty. a light rpm past 4K is nothing compared to stomping on your gas in the wrong higher gear under 4K rpm.

i think you're fine. just keep an eye on the dip stick every other week or so. i only check it like twice a month.

That looks good, man. I definitely think raising it a hair in the back would make it perfect.

Ken and his food.


agreed! a tad bit of rake would evenly distribute the weight when you punch the gas or accelerate quickly. well, i guess it also depends on your spring and damp setting, but something to think about if your car tends to squat too much.
