After 5 years, Skittles gets to play again :)

[Datawiz]

For those who don't know Skittles, this is the Miata that GWiz built when she was 15. He has sat for over 5 years while she was away at college (maybe a start and drive every once and awhile), but he's now re-registered for the road, got his own license plate back, fresh oil change, coolant flush with 2nd up to temp with Distilled water flush again.

She wants to replace trans and diff fluid, but we ran out of time, and we'll be bleeding clutch and brakes as well.

Neat to see the little guy finally get to be driven on the street again.

Baymax gets to take a nap for a month or so.

The white one is Baymax. He was the college car. Paid $2,200 for him and invested over $15,000 in him.

• New Paint Job
• Robbins cloth top with glass window
• New Wheels and tires
• New brake rotors and pads
• New headers
• New Catback exhaust
• New interior door panels
• New door top sills
• New window regulators both sides
• New engine thanks to donor car Vader
• New windshield
• New starter
• New alternator
• New master and slave clutch cylinders
• Miata R front and rear splitters
• That's all I can think of at the moment.

He's a rowdy little one. Clearly louder than Skittles with the long tube headers and the aggressive exhaust. Daughter will have both of those Miatas forever. We have trickle chargers all over the place, as she also has her 2015 Subaru BRZ, with only 23,000 miles on it. And, now that she's making the big bucks, when she gets a place of her own, I'm sure the 4th car is not far behind.
