Ok so my step-mom drives a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT and its a great little fast car(hit 100 on the freeway today). Anyways the problem is it just burns oil like theres no tomorrow. So my question is what r some solutions to this issue with out overhauling the engine? i know the best thing to do is re-sleveit or hone the cylinders and some new rings but that isnt really a practical solution cause its a daily driver. o and by the way its got 162,000 miles. any help is appreciated.

change the rings and just go through the engine maybe, oh and 100 mph is cake work, i did that in my moms highlander. hit 145 in the 1.8t the other day.

a mistubishi with over 150,000 that burns oil?!?:huh :huh

It's pretty much guaranteed that old mistu's burn oil, my old truck burned oil like crazy. I'd just keep addin oil to it every now again as a car with that many miles isn't practical to rebuild. you just gotta remember to keep addin the oil every now and again....

I'm going to say VW... only MK IV owners refer to their car by 1.8T.

oval track. Its a blast. They have classes from enduro which is cheepest. to mini stock, which is a more expensive class.

enduro its balls to da walls smash em up no rules racing. Its a blast.

Mini stock there is a bit more car involved, more sivilized racing.

Here is a pic of my budies mini stock car.
