Of course the high strength aluminums are in a heat treated condition when looking at their highest yield strengths. Then 6061 is popular with machine shops because it machines well and because it is easily available. It is often welded but it is not the best welding aluminum and it is not the...

I have a '97 Lexus ES300 with 112K miles on it. I have the adaptive variable suspension (AVS) that allows you to change the dampening of the suspension via a switch located in the center console area (next to the gear shifter).

I can get a price on one below the Pertronix I. But is that a deal? I saw on the Accel web site they use an "optical" sensor. My fear with the Pertronix is that I or someone will put the ignition to "on" or run it all day in the Texas heat and burn the unit out, so what I am wondering is, is that...
