I filled it up to where the oil level was about 3/4 to the full line about 2-3 weeks ago and now, the oil level is about 1/4 to the low line. That's half a quart in 2-3 weeks. Is that normal??

Its important to not rev the 7A-FE as it is cold. If you drive like an ass, the engine will at last burn oil like that.
So why is it burning oil? Well, the main problem is the oil rings on the pistons. These will stick, and not work, which make the oil come through to the top, and get burned. The valve seals is known to make the oil burn too, but I really think the oil rings is the main problem. Did the rebuild on mine, and it is expensive. Especially here in Norway... But it is totally worth it, and my engine have never burned oil since i did it. (1 1/2 year ago) You can do the rebuild yourself, to save some cash. Good luck though!

I was told exactly that, oil rings and valve seals. I just don't have the experience to do it myself  But I have a few friends that build up 240's to drift all the time, so they can possibly help. Thanks guys!
