When I get a newer car I always put a small bit of neverseize on the studs being careful not to get any on the seating surface of the lug nuts. It makes the torque wrench ever so much more accurate and I've never had a binding issue yet in decades. Your car is only 2 years old in FL and the nuts seized? Yikes. It's not like you left them on for two years in the sea salt. Glad you got it sorted out.

Wonder if the dealer would have fixed it for free? Wonder where the OEM stuff came from? N. Korea I bet.

Just fixing some some stuff.
BTW, I know we can't have a car leaking oil but what about a fuel injector spraying gas? I figure if I dump a enough fuel it will make the car lighter and Loren has shown that 3 cylinder is all you need.

Car is ready. Did some reflector slalams (on a deserted road). All is well.

Do some late night prep, to find my rear tires are totally camber worn, I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have access to a tire machine so I can flip my tires and run them tomorrow?

So I'm now looking for a co-drive. I have cash and a bad Miata fuel injector.
