::: EDIT ::: TM Scanned, follow link http://astronsworld.dyndns.org/astron/ ::: EDIT :::

ok, posted this on another forum, not so much interest. basically im making the original mitsubishi service manual into a pdf. (Adobe Acrobat file) kinda like a software book if ure computer illiterate.
if someone else has done it well congratulations and u can close this window.
but if your interested, reply or post on the poll, if i can find one here. and lemme know
it'd be the TM manual, so only carb fuel system, and if u have a TN-TP the fuel pump is different, no wagon support. but tells u alot bout the engine, wiring and body. plus beats the heck out of any gregories or haynes.

so if u want it show interest or its all mine for my cars laptop.

added a pic of the cover to easily identify it.

i would love one

ive started doing this to the TP service manual (ive got the TM and TP) i have also got the folder type not the book so its easyer to scan, but i found from reading the TM manual and the TP manual theres a BIG difference, but yer ive stoped scanning it cos i really havnt had time or effort to carry on

it would b good if u could do the original TP manual, i have a Gregory's one but some things rnt in there, and at times its no help....

I've got a folderised TP book, but I don't have a scanner

if you can get the mitsubishi ones on the engine, chassis and electrical system then your going to have everything u could possibly need, they are great. ive seen them at mechanics and i thought about doing a runner with one :badgrin: i have the daihatsu ones for my motor, god sent they are!

Would love TM manual Aströn Boy, not that I'm much of a mechanic.
Allways good to be able to do your own research.

Yeah mate, might be handy! :badgrin: lol :cool:

yeah i would love to get a copy of that !

ok, well a heads up, the book is like 300 pages. and ive done each page scan at a res of 1536, which i will reduce dependant on the size of the file. but i wanna make it so a good zoom in can be accomplished and zoomed in print outs turn out sweet. so, ill let you know the go with size when ive done it. so far ive done 90 pages. its not easy ill tell ya, lol

:) Can I get a copy please.

If you've got the manual in A4 pages (in a binder, etc) call around to a few print shops and they'll be able to scan it in one hit -- and it'll cost f..k all compared to you're time :confused:

Hi yes i will have a copy Thank you.

Hi,

hows the scanning going, can't wait to get a copy. :)

hey man, hows it comming?

i might one day run around and get a few quotes on doing that
but i havnt been stuffed scaning the TP one lately so i only have a few pages on that :bowrofl:

:O you have the TP factory manual.........get a quote on how much it costs to scan i might be interested in paying the fee of getting it scaned so i can get a copy myself, thats if its ok with u

I wouldnt mind a copy of the TP one either, mad_lante... The TN one would be better but i havent seen one...

yer there really my uncles manuals hes got TM-TF and hes missing the most important the TN there is a TN book some times they appear on ebay if your lucky
but yer you can rely on the TP manual on a TM or TN just some things like the console and the wire colours are different

oh yer if i either scan it my self or get some one else to do it would have to be on CD becuase of the size of the pics and the fact theres like 1000 pages

well if theres any thing your after now just pm and ill scan but when i get off my ass soon ill defently get a few quotes

lol, nothing immidiate i rip one compleatly apart later this week and want to transfer the full elite kit, (rims, console, dash, seats, cruise control, ect,) so im genna need a hell of alot of stuff later on

any pages you need immediately i have, there just not in the book yet. the books kinda come to a hault. one of those kinda rainy day projects, and so far thats been on my butt playing nintendo. so, lol
i am getting there, slowly, but remember there are alot of pages.
i cant imagine it be cheap to get someone to do it, and sorry, but im not gonna be at a loss for doing that, so if anyone wants to, be my guest. lol
but yeah, i have all the pages scanned, there just still in jpg form. so pm me if you need any immediately.

if you have the pages scaned it should only take 10mins to import in to a PDF then arrange them in the right chapter/bookmarks
also what was the size of the whole lot i would see it being a few 100mb :P cos ive only scaned a chapter or 2 and it already around 100mb

well, u cant count mine, coz i have doubled folders with bmp back ups and everything, the entire folder size for me is like 6 gigs. and the jpgs as i do a page im deleting the jpgs, so i cant go off those folder sizes theyd be wrong to.
see the problem is, coz its double sided u have to arrange the pages, so 1 side then the other, thats the time consuming part, if it was in a row, then do batch conversion, auto bookmark/ thumbnail and word recognition and tyour done...... but NO lol

i wasnt gonna worry about it being double sided i was just gonna put each page up in order in a pdf or am i talkin about something different :P
but 6g seeeshhh lol

doesnt worry me, my server has more than enough room to cope. all the room in it may as well do something. end result i estimate, once i compact it like 25% will be about, hmmmmm, ummmmm, ehhhh. bloody hell i dunno, 50meg on a guess. i'll just host it on my server and allow a download in the web section for everyone.

hey astronboy, were abouts in nsw u live, i can swing past and give u a few blank dvds to get a copy of the pics, and i can put em in order here, i have alot of spare time on my hands, happy to be of help

wont go into why i have this, but i have over 200 blank dvd-r, so, lol if you wanna do it, i can supply them.

lol, i can think of a few reasons to want that many,

and yeah ill do it no problems, be happy to, u have pm ( like u didnt know that as i get a popup when ever i get one)

hey, im having hela trouble replying to your message, stupid system this one is. plus i barely log in, so i never check pms, found out i had 5
i'll burn it to dvd, then figure out a time when im free, you have adobe acrobat and not reader right?

anyone thought about the copyright problesm here? im not going to tell if you dont :)

considering it's non profit, and these manuals are no longer in rotation, plus the fact that all associated work goes uncredited, its hardly infringing on copyright. every second major car manual is posted on the net these days, everything from Hilux and camaros to vw and alfa, if people were charging, then theres a problem.

i have pretty much every thing anyone could need on my computer, (all legit of course :liar: ;) )

tell me when its burnt and when ure free.

yer and where scanning them for backups so if the book gets stolen or burnt we still have a back up so :gtfo: tc :P

yeah and i legaly own all the copys of the book to, i just need a backup cause mine are in bad condition, and them im genna host them on the net so if my house burns down i dont lose my computer back up, and for futher safe keeping i may even give a cd copy out to ppl incase the net goes down, sounds fair

lol, yes notorious, but i think abit far, lol
when it's finished, it can just be stuck in my http server, saves hosting it off somewhere, and it wont disappear anywhere then.

when i said host i was also thinkin off a http server thats 5 feet away from me lol

oh well, ures or mine. if there both always online. lol

I'd love a copy too

So when can we expect to see it????

So when can we expect to see it????

I've got the Engine, Carburettor and Auto Transmission sections scanned in a PDF.. It's 32Mb, but I guess I could lower the res a little.. Who's interested?

ill be keen for a look. is this just the std gerorys/haynes one tho?

Hey TC,

It's the Mitsu bible.. I've reduced it's size in acrobat to 16Mb, but the quality might have suffered.

http://metawire.org/~carl/magna/tn_manual.pdf

omgwtf server is that on.... that'll take ages

try get the images to a mac and then use the pdf format to save it, macs are just the best at that sort of stuff and will retain quality but be smaller than 16mb

I've got Acrobat 6, it's going to compress the same on a pc, it's just a matter of reading it once it's compressed.

There's 170 pages in that PDF.. It's not a small jobbie.

Would love a copy of this if ya still have it.
Cheers

I actually have the TM scanned and posted in my server, along with sigma manuals.

I do have the TN manual, but haven't gotten around to scanning it as not as much call as the Sigmas....

http://astronsworld.dyndns.org/astron/

the gregories and haynes
ones are a bit short on details at times

thanks mate. that will be handy. are you still doing a tp one?? .

That's the only gen 1 manual I don't have.
I have reminders on ebay for particular items, and the TP manual I have never had flagged, only TN and M *shrug*
I know it does exist, but just not as common (easy to get)

I'll get to scanning the TN one day.

Meanwhile, the TM is of a rather large download, did this one back some years ago.
With todays scanners and compression software I have entire manuals to under 50mb with the same quality, but I really couldn't be bothered re-doing the TM, so it has to simply be a larger download.

Don't hold me to a time, but I'll post up again when the TN is done.

agian thanks for the tm one .

Have a gregorys TP one here if someone wants to scan it and pdf it?

i didnt seem to be able to send astro boy a pm but i may know where an tp factory manual is available. its only a possibility as ive seen someone with one on another forum site although its not scanned as far as i know. but if you care to pm me ill give you the details. just don't know weather your allowed to post links to other web forums here as i read somewhere its a breach of rules or something.

regards jay

Have PMs turned off.. for some reason from years ago.

Send me an email as I'm not on here much and can't remember which email address this site's linked to.

running 'dot' slow 'at' gmail 'dot' com

modified email due to spam bots, obviously no spaces

And cheeers Timi, I have the whole collection of Haynes and whatever the other one is, but can't legally scan those as they are still in print.
The factory manuals enter a nice grey area.

Could someone rehost the magna TM and TN service manual somewhere?

Speaking of the TP magna, I have a copy of the service manual , so if anyone need information from it, I could help them out.
