yeah, that's how i drove it. down shifting at about 3-2.5k. the motor would hit good, it was fun to drive. i just knew something was screwing with the oil.
nah, there was no leaking, that one could notice quickly. break was normal everyday driving, didn't really do hard rev driving till after 1st oil change, which was about 2k miles.

B18c piston set w/ rings 81.5mm
B18c engine gasket set
B18c OEM oil pump
B18c...
