I just followed the break in procedures until 3000 miles. then all hell broke loose. You think that's maybe why car burns oil?

so you're saying you didn't engage vtec(go past 6k rpm) until 3k miles? you also should know that babying the motor for too long is not a good idea too, you want to "exercise" the engine throughout the whole rpm range.

I'm just wondering why it's still losing oil.

Razor...my redline comment was supposed to be mildly amusing.

Driving the engine hard could possibly prevent some oil consumption, though....the hotter the engine the smaller the piston/cylinder clearance the less oil-blow-by...???

Vapor, what kind of front diffuser do you use? I noticed it is integrated to the chin spoiler. Is it custom? How much? It is very nice looking.

thnx, I'm actually selling the front and rear undertrays. The front is just like the OEM lip except it's in carbon and extends all the way back to the lower tie bar.
