Gotta say I feel like a young wannabe here having not done much of anything to the car since we got it.

I got some of the floor mat to make an air dam. The changes I've done so far haven't done much if anything except make the engine run quieter considering I had to put Lucas StopLeak in the transmission after changing 2/3 of the ATF which was in the car; I had a leak.

I'm also looking into an electric fan again but so far I've not seen anything to the size of the stock fan, is that an issue? The stock one is about 19 inches in diameter and the biggest electric fan I've seen has blades going to 16. Amazon says these ones fit and I'm wondering how well they work (if at all.)

This 16" fan has reviews saying the blades broke off. Ow.

If I wanted to go to nearly $300 just for a fan this one could be had. There are also a few more that are even more expensive.
