stock clutch fan would be better for a fmic application..

i had a flexalite in my s13 during my KA days.. then went to a SR with FMIC, and the flexalite, would overheat in the summer traffic.. had to switch to a clutch fan.. eventually i went ford tuarus fan and no more problems

Just take it somewhere and have it welded. If its small enough some places wont even charge you. Unless you want to get good at welding to make more stuff, a welder really isnt worth buying.

Those welders are most certainly not good enough for IC piping.

and get a metal cut off wheel for it.. they come in handy when you need to cut metal too
Easy to cut straight lines... If your wanting to cut circles.. then i dont know what to use.. Just cut squares

yeah it will work with a regular drill, aas far as piping go how big are you running for the fronts because it pretty hard to find 3" circular cutters i think the ones they sell at home depot are between 1"-2.5"

either way just cut them out and then it will be easier for you to make the holes bigger with a file or a dremel

goodluck

also for your piping call pm teddyrx2 at 1231 motorsports they do sick *** welding and fabrication
