do you have a gsr or an ls? in gsrs i noticed they burn alot of oil when they hit vtec but im pretty sure thats common for most gsrs. but to be on the safe side make sure you dont have a blown cylinder, your seals, valves, rings, pistons etc check them out and that should help

oil is possibly getting past the rings, or valve seals. maybe your just leaking from somewhere. get under the car. any oil on the underside?
Just about all hondas burn oil, its what they do, mine has an OEM rebuild and its been boosted ever since (20K) but I still dont leak a drop of oil. maybe John at LHT performance builds em better than Honda

Here is a thought..... nothing lasts forever. Get what's making you burn oil fixed and maybe you won't have something to complain about.

is it burning it at startup or when your on it? most of the time burning at startup is valve seals and hard on is rings, in my experience

eh, time for a rebuild more than likely.

if you can stand the oil leak, leave it as is.

if you can't stand it and want to spend at least 300 for the parts to rebuild it (200 for the gaskets, 100 for the rings), go for it. i'm in the same boat with near 200k on the odometer!
