Aston Martin DB9 – A Striking Balance.pdf

November 22, 2009 · Filed Under Aston Martin · Comment  · Tags: ,

Taken from 100% Aston Martin Engineered to be the World’s Finest Sports GT: DB9 is new from the ground up. Every feature has been tailored to make the world’s finest sports GT.
The starting point was to define the ideal dimensions, proportions and materials for the chassis. Aston Martin did not use an adapted platform from an existing family or luxury saloon – the most common starting point for GT cars. This approach can lead to compromise in styling and weight and loss of character.

Vanquish S V12 - The Ultimate Aston Martin.pdf

August 28, 2009 · Filed Under Aston Martin · Comment  · Tags: ,

Taken from Aston Martin VANQUISH S V12 is the Flagship of the World’s Most Exclusive Sport Car Maker: In 1914, the founders of Aston Martin, Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford, began building handcrafted, highperformance sports cars. They believed sports cars should have a distinctive and individual character, be built to the highest standards and be exhilarating to drive and own. More than 90 years later these values remain true today.
Aston Martin has earned a reputation for another speciality: building lifelong one-to-one relationships with each of its cars and with every owner. This is due to meticulous records and archives, plus personal attention from experts at the factory.
The Vanquish S effortlessly combines 21st Century technology and 200mph (321 km/h) performance, with understated elegance and craftsmanship.
To build such an extraordinary car, the company has used British expertise in aerospace and race-car engineering. Conventional automotive industry materials and manufacturing techniques were not good enough for the fastest road car in Aston Martin’s history

Toyota Collision Repair Information - Welding High Strength Steel (H.S.S.).pdf

Taken from REPAIR GUIDELINES
H.S.S. and ordinary steel parts in Toyota vehicles are welded using the same methods. The following precautions apply:
Use either spot welding or MIG/MAG (shield gas) welding. MIG/MAG (shield gas) welding should only be done by an experienced body shop person.
Only braze body components previously brazed at the factory and as indicated in the Toyota Repair Manual for Collision Damage.
Do not use an oxy–acetylene torch for fusion welding auto bodies. The large heat affected zone may destroy galvanized coatings and cause excessive panel distortions. In addition, an oxy–acetylene torch will reduce the strength and increase the brittleness of H.S.S.
