Sounds like it is still burning a lot of oil, eh?   :-\

Eh, no more than any other 250,000 km Honda. We switched over to using 20w-50 and it seemed to help.

The engine is strong though. Plus, it comes with the spare engine, so you could always rebuild it and have little to no downtime.

Buy one car, receive second car for $1 deals don't happen often.

Well, sad to report, but Ginger has finally been sold.

It's been a fun few years with the car. From scouting it out and buying it with Cagare, building it up, and finally racing it. Many good times were had. It was an awesome experience to see it all come together from a ittshay beater into a competitive AutoX car.

Unfortunately, due to Cagare moving away, a layoff at work, and good friends dropping out for many of the same reasons, the car never got put through its paces last year. This year, it's pretty much the opposite story: too busy at work, and too much other stuff going on in life to get out and use the car.

On the plus side of things, the buyer has specifically been looking for a competitive AutoX car, and is going to be racing it again very soon...
