Same. Mine didn't burn much oil, but would refuse to start when the engine was warm because of the weak compression. Would fire right up when it was cool though.
It sure is a pain in the ass when that happens. I have a chipped ECU so I don't have to get out and pull the fuse to get it started, but I haven't installed it yet.
One of my cats is gutted and my exhaust is rusted to hell - right now my fuel economy is shit (~10mpg). This should actually improve when I put the Racing Beat exhaust in but then I have to upgrade the injectors and air intake and port the turbo.
My 10th Anniversary is still bone-stock and I'm sad about having to change it.
Loved how it handled and the 9,000 rpm redline.
