After realizing i gotta put a couple quarts in between oil changes. I figured i might start saving for a engine rebuild. I'm only at 170,000m though but i burn oil like no other... Is there any other way to fix that or am i just stupid trying to believe there is a other way.

So that puff of smoke when you start the car up is either the valve seals or the piston rings? My GT with 127,000 miles on it does that too. It doesn't constantly burn oil, just a puff when I start it up, and only once in a while. I don't plan on doing anything about it. I'd rather just swap it out for a 3S.
