With that kind of oil consumption its almost half way to using as much as a two stroke:eek:

Bob

The pistons themselves rotate, and the oily bits cannot be effectively separated from the bits that go bang.

Its what's known as a "total loss" oil system, it continually drips oil into the engine, and the oil gets used up at the rate of about a pint every 1000 miles.

Think maybe all the guys at work must been filling up with my oil!

You have to watch the oil level closely as it can run at 9000 rpm

Mitzy Delica for the daily driver and a 1990 Audi 90 quattro in mint condition with leather and aircon and a coupe quattro in the same red on an H.

Her indoors flies a 206 cc and the sprog carries the grandaughter around in a Beetle tdi.

My daily driver: Honda Civic 1.5i 1991. It's just tured 20 this month, so it can buy beer on its own.

I swapped the 1.5 mono injection for MPFI from the 1.6 model. Weighs under 900 kg, snappy and economical.

That's, basically, the reason why I ruled out red as a colour for the roadster. Two might be a coincidence, but three would imply something.
