My 40th was consuming about a quart every 1000miles or so. I almost ran it right out just like the OP once. I threw a BP kit on it and its now sitting at about 25000miles and doesnt burn a drop anymore.

Moral of the story, burning oil go boosted. The added air in the combustion chamber helps keep the oil from pushing by the rings .

lol. Goodluck OP with your repair. Your bound to find a good engine sooner or later.

I like how you think good sir. If only it fit my wallet! Boost goes on the calendar when this puppy's paid off.

So dealer is in process of teardown, and calls to tell me my clutch disc and flywheel look pretty bad, and recommend replacement. I'm stunned. 26k??? I've driven manual cars all my life, never replaced a clutch so soon. I took a vehicle to the scrapyard from new with 175k on it, original clutch.
Am I being hosed here? $1800 without labor.

Probably, this car isn't know for having a weak clutch (besides the slave cylinder). But without seeing it first hand I can't say if it really needs to be replaced or not. Ask them this, :"if it is failing after 26k why pay to replace it out of your own pocket with the same garbage terrible clutch that will fail again in another 26k?"
