I have some already scanned and ready to go. But we are having database problems and I'm waiting to resolve this before inputting another 300mb of information online.

man, have you ever thought about making a write up of the important information in the shop manual. i bet that 20% of the information in that thing will satisfy 80% of the people

Another FYI. Publishing pure specs is not considered copy write violation. Publishing it with the included pictures is. You could take some photos and peace together your own, full color manual. That's what most people need any way. They need to know the dimensions and see how it fits together with everything else.

Sorry, no updates yet. I might have to toy around with the idea. Maybe we could compile a list of the top specs people are looking for ( you know, the ones that are hard to find unless you take apart your car.)

We uploaded all of 2004 and 2003 GS 430s I believe. We upload nearly 50 pages per week. You do have to realize how many PDF files there are per manual. Remember, each car model and car year have two manuals.
