Short and Sweet

Clutch is here, notice the HUGE difference in center section (old one had holes, these are just slotted):

Welded a flange and pipe for a friend, aluminized steel w/ mild steel flange.  Getting better, still a lot to improve:

Finished up my friend's pipes so far.  Stainless v-bands to aluminized tubing, adding rod when needed.  Uniformity and the row of dimes appearance are lacking =( lol.
Black yucky stuff is the Solar B flux, which is AWESOME stuff if you don't have the means to back purge.  Not even a slight hint of sugaring on the back of the pipes and it was 2x as easy to weld!  That unsightly stuff also comes off with a little persuasion from a wire wheel.

School is kicking my @$$, all the teachers think its "cool" to load the homework/projects on when the weather gets nice.  Posts will probably be slow as a result.  I'm moving all my stuff to that friend's house later this week which is closer to my apartment, once school is out should be able to get a lot done between his projects and mine.

I'd be impressed if you can get to 10seconds on a MR2 hope you do it.
