lemme know when you're free, I also want to feel the springs on yours again since I didn't pay attention to it last time I drove it
What have you done to your Miata today?

those toyo rr look good,
I originally wanted to go with toyo r888s but if I wanted to stay in street class for goodwin racing/extreme speed's miata challenge I could not use tires with a better rating than140 utqg. I am considering going to mod class though so i could use 100 utqg tires. toyo r888 are rating at 100utqg
darn, I will look into it. I may end up doing something else instead.Good luck with that, RS3 is only available in 225/45-15 for 15in wheel sizes AFAIK. But there's nothing wrong with 225s

Make sure that you're not getting water in the oil, please..... unless you really like roasted crank bearings.
No... that's a paper towel.
If there's froth in it (can't tell) after a drive? Then yeah, water. The best way to tell is pull the drain plug and drain it into a drip pan.
i meant the spots within the oil (You can see 2 different consistencies)
I am due for an oil change anyways so we'll see what it looks like then i guess.
but no white smoke from the exhaust or sweet smell (just black/blue from burning oil through the valve guide seals)

You'd get the smell and smoke from the exhaust if you were getting oil into the combustion chamber from the HG, not if water's going into the sump. Again, it's hard to tell from what you've shown. But unless you mean you need an oil change *NOW* I wouldn't put too many miles on it unless you think an engine swap is easier than a head gasket job...
Smaller than correct size 12pt socket + sledge hammer.

borrow someone else's locking lug key?

If you don't mind ruining the locking lugs, you could always take an older socket that is 'just to small' for the lug and hammer it on using your trusty BFH and then use a breaker bar to remove them. Of course you'll trash your locks and a socket or two. Alternative would be to order a new key from Mazda.
Typically, if they're manufacturer lugs, they're not universal. There's generally a handful of different patterns.
This is the way to do it.
You might get lucky trying someone else's though. I doubt it though, there wouldn't be much point of locking lugs if it was that easy to get the key.
