Since I got my 00 coupe about a year ago it has used oil, about a quart every 400 miles if I drove it like it was meant to be driven. Didn't really use any if I drove it granny style. I was secretly sad because I figured this was the dreaded ring issue and there wasn't much I could do about it other than tear it apart etc... I would just add a quart as needed and try not to think about it.
Well, one of my heads blew up a few months ago and I had them replaced with a pair of ported 243's from Advanced Induction and have been driving the bejesus out of the car since. The oil hasn't dropped a mm since the head swap!
I love my little yellow buddy! (now without reservation)
