Mind you , I hear that on the Armidale run it started to self distruct and shed bits of body kit for no apparent reason.

That AMG is bloody fast. I remember being at the top of VTEC in 3rd and having him come blasting past like I was standing still. Scary! It must have been revenge for the go-kart day 
Funny this oil use thing. My car doesn't use any at all. I suppose I'm just lucky (or the new owner will be
)

Well i must say mine does burn oil, especially when driven hard, and i was told by the service manager when i got the car that " they burn oil". My previous Type R burnt oil also - im getting a bit worried , think i might start documenting oil usage and inform Honda just to be on the safe side.
Naishou im very suprised yours doesnt drink oil

It's had two track days and the Armidale run, which was insane. I think it was more or less constantly in VTEC for the whole drive except the freeway sections. When I got home I put 200ml of oil in it, but I don't think the level had actually gone down, I just hadn't filled it right to the top on the recent change. I'm sure it uses oil as all cars do, just no more than average and not really noticeable over my 3000km change intervals.
