Regarding the oil consumption, check the pcv valve. When I bought my old 99, it used over a quart on a 125 mile drive home. Kept using what I thought was too much oil over the next few weeks, but no oil leak to be found. Did some online reasearch and the cheapest parts cannon attempt was to replace the pcv valve which solved my oil consumption problem. I think it had a little over 100k miles at the time.
I'm 2nd guessing myself. I have put over 500 miles on the car since the last oil change, including a bunch of "spirited" driving and a day of Autocross. The level hasn't moved at all on the dipstick.
Just a quick follow up. At 2,000+ miles since the last oil change, the level hasn't moved at all. I must have somehow flubbed my initial level check.
I ended up ordering STR.T shocks. Unfortunately, my RallyCross beater decided that it needed struts "right now" so the Miata suspension refresh got bumped. I'll have some time to get to it later in September.
