Tore into the FC with a buddy looking for coolant leaks, found one obvious culprit and one possible one so we cleaned those up, hopefully it stops throwing away coolant now.

Wrong person. I doubt anyone here actually knows me as i am not that active (lurker). I only own a viper and a toyota matrix for my daily. Other cars i owned are a 68 mustang and 70 camaro. My parents do have a old 348 and sold their quattroporte a while ago for a X5. Parents cut me off after i showed up with a 68 mustang so i started detailing for cash.

Anyways, i did have some time to kill yesterday and wanted to see what my rims would like in black. Picked up some plasti dip and sprayed the wheels black with a red stripe along with the fuel cap. Not too bad. Now i just need another day off to do the front. The great thing is i can drive around for the next month or so and if i like it, i will most likely have them sprayed gloss black at the shop.  
I have a whole wack of stuff i still have to do and hopefully, one day have time to sit down and write up a journal.

The coupe rear looks good. I wanted to do that to mine as well but haven't had a chance to source all the parts.

if you are talking about fitment, i will be taking most of the panels off for sanding and polishing before final fitment.
the only person i know that sells the rear is steve from vipair. Stay away from him and read the reviews.
Jeff Lemke is also another guy that does the rear conversion (street serpent) but i dont know if he is still making them.

Yeah, was referring more to the fitment. If it was just test fitting, that makes sense. Was just worried it was a poor repair job that some body shop had done. Would have been a shame since it otherwise looks good. I actually love that shade of white on it.

I kicked the shit out of my car today because it wouldn't start. Can't seem to figure out what is causing the problem because it's intermittent. Anyone have an obd1 reader so i can narrow down the issues? I think it's a fuel injector but i don't know if this is the cause of the issue or not.

Be more specific?
What car?
Does it crank, but not turn over?
Does it turn over and die?
Does it not crank at all?
Also I hope you didn't really kick your car lol
