Adrain,
I have simply saved each page as a jpg and have organised these into folders according to chapters. As for payment, simply write a cheque for 15 pound and send it to...

Please include your address and I will dispatch the CD immediately. The price includes postage and the fee to convert your cheque to Aussie dollars.
Hope this helps
Jason
PS For every CD sold I would like to donate 1 pound to the club.
Jason,
Have you considered setting up a paypal account, it would make things much quicker and I'll buy one.
It may also be worth running it through an OCR package and converting it to a .pdf or .doc file then you could e-mail it to us Poms and give half the postage to the site.;)
Good idea that,
Paypal is such a universal thing and it seems to work for anything you need.
I didn't get chance to post the cheque off today after all so if you do have an account Jason then I can pay that way also if you want.

Hey guys
Paypal is not available in Australia...:(
I also attempted to run the manual through a couple of OCR packages but they took far to long to convert each page to pdf. When you take into account that it took almost ten hours of scanning to convert the entire manual, I used the most efficient system available. Coupled with this, jpg has a far better compression which not only saves space but also allows you to quickly browse through pages using slide show so you can find what you are looking for much easier.
Regards
Jason
Great idea Jason
Put me down for a copy too, do you accept Euro or is STG best? ill send off the money on friday when i get paid!
Cheers

Just how big is it Jason? I mean all together?
I can get 500MB of server space on here for next to nothing, then charge a small fee to enter the secure area. (for you!)
Just a thought!

Hey guys,
I do apologise, Paypal is now available in Australia and I have set up an account...

My only reservation, is the ability to associate each payment with the respective member. In addition I will need to know your address so I can send you the CD. I'm sure we can work through this.
As for the size, it is 302MB which would fit on the server but would take a lifetime to download, unless you have cable. I thought about using something like StuffIt but apparently you loose resolution of jpg's by doing this and I didn't want to loose any detail. Still interested in this option though.
I thought cheques would be the most simple as you could write them in Pound Sterling, include your address and as soon I receive it I would dispatch the CD.
Thanks so much for the help :)
Jason
Cable (well, adsl) will be here at the end of april so it may be an option, its a big project, but it would be invaluabe!
I'll look into it a bit more and let you know

Hey everyone,
Just to keep you up to date. For those of you who have already paid money using PayPal I have dispatched your CD's. It seems to work fine. Thanks for the suggestion.
Regards
Jason :)
Hi Jason,
Glad it is working for you.

Look forward to getting it

Hey everyone,

Regards
Jason :)

Hi Jason,

Adrian

Hey guys,
It is good to hear the CD's are turning up as I was concerned with the war that they would be delayed. As for the movie file, Im glad you like it. I was even thinking if we could convert it to DivX we could put it on the site.
Regards
Jason ;)
Thanx Jason it arrived Saturday
Hey fellow Beat Owners,
I'm really surprised at the number of countries Beats are to be found. While I remember, if you are using Paypal be sure to put where you live in the Shipping Information correctly.
Many thanks
Jason :)
I got mine today :D Many thanks
Got mine yesterday.. Thanks :D
Jason,
Is your offer of supplying BEAT workshop manuals still available?
Cheers, John.
Just a reminder to everyone that I still have Workshop Manuals if you require one.
:) :) :)
Hey Gang,
Got a PM last night from Karl in Germany. He pointed out that there was no Chapter 9 on the CD. I had a look this morning and although it lists one in the index there is in fact no chapter 9. On translating the index, chapter 9 is dedicated to an automatic transmission. The Beat was never released with an auto so I can only assume that it is a generic index for all Honda manuals.
Beat trivia for the week
Jason :)
I'm intested in your CD , but i'm French; so, how can i do for pay you and how much does it cost if i pay you by Euro cheque?
Received it yesterday!!
Thanks a lot, Jason.
Has somebody already translated it into English?
Hey Matt,
Thats great to hear. Unfortunately only small sections have been translated into English. I attempted to get a chapter translated but the person doing it knew little about cars and it was not very useful.
Regards
Jason
Hi Jason do you have any manuals left please?

Jurek

Hey Gang,
I received an email the other day from Frank about a manual. In addition, an Irishman ( I think ) also left a message on the answering machine but it wasn't to clear. Is this the same person? If so simply PM me and I will do my best to answer your questions. :)
Regards
Jason
hi , are these manuals still available , can any one on here make me a copy of their cd , or if they have any other suggestions on getting this information on the beat , i would gladly pay or make a contribution to the site , cheers

Hi, I have a copy, if the original supply is not still available, whereabouts are you? Note: it is in Japanese and I haven't found it a lot of use. - John.
Thanks , probably not worth the bother , ill wait and see if anyone has a better option , if not ill contact you anyway , something is better than nothing .
BRIAN
It's actually very useful even though it's in Japanese.
It has exploded diagrams as well as torque settings, I've found it priceless since I got one.
cool . if one of you guys would int mind posting me a copy , send me a pm and ill reply with my address etc , many thanks ,
BRIAN
hey brian
ive got a copy of the workshop manual, engine manual and parts listing. i think only 2 out of the 3 are on the cd tho. drop me a pm and i'll get it sorted out for you. as miss leopard said, theyre extremely useful and you can get most of the data you need from the diagrams.
Hi, being a new owner, I'm interested in getting a hold of the manual myself. Appreciate if someone is able to point me in the right direction. I am in London, by the way, for the postage. Thanks.
hi , send me a pm with your full name and address and ill sort a copy for you .
BRIAN
howdy just wondering about these manuals can somebody drop me a line on how I can get one please? cheers people!
