These are the charts for the first- and second-generation US-spec Toyota Paseo. If you see any errors please let me know and I will correct them immediately.

Also, I am currently looking for US brochures that can be scanned and uploaded to our archive for all to use. If you have a brochure laying around please let me know. Thanks!

Thanks for the info, Darren. I got your U2U. I do actually have a few Paseo brochures laying around. When I get a moment (and can find them) I'll gladly scan them and get them to you.

Hey, I'm about to make a big purchase ($$$) of US brochures, and there are some Paseo brochures available. I'd rather not buy duplicates if you already have them, because I just plan to scan them and then try to sell them. There is a 1992 and 1993, so can you check and see which years you have? If you don't have those two years then maybe you want them?


insaneintenti0n - 4/24/08 at 05:46 AM

lol, sorry man. I done forgot. I'm not sure where they are right now. Either in my garage, or hidden somewhere so I don't damage em. been crazy busy at home. in any regards, i definitely don't have 1992-1993 brochures. the only ones I would have cover the 96-97 Paseo.


toyotareference - 4/24/08 at 11:55 AM

OK cool. I'll add those to the purchase then. Try to dig up those brochures for me, please? I want to get as many out of the way as possible before I start plunking down cash. :)

found em! now... i just have to turn on my computer at home. which may sound like a non-issue, but i haven't had my desktop on in 3 weeks. i live off my lappy at home.

and sadly, one brochure looks too big for my scanner. might just have to use the digi camera

i only have two,
One is a Canadian brochure for the 1997 Celica/Paseo
The other is a US Brochure for the 1997 Paseo that covers the Convertible too.

How do you want em? JPEGs of each side? Everything thrown together in a PDF? Though, i haven't done that in ages. JPGs might be best, then you can put em together however you want.

I'm only covering US brochures for now, so scan that one first. If that is the big one then make two passes for each page... top and bottom, or left and right (whichever makes more sense) Scan at 300dpi and try to get as much overlap as you possibly can so that when I join them I can try to hide the transition.

Email the JPGs over to me in several emails... try to send only 3-4 JPGs per email or else my inbox will get clogged up. :) I'll stitch them together and send you back the final results so you can keep them in your archive somewhere.

When I get my hands on other years of Paseo brochures would you be interested in buying them from me after I have scanned them? I'll offer them to you at whatever price I paid... usually no more than about $5 each.


insaneintenti0n - 4/28/08 at 02:40 PM

dude, how NICE do you want this? I can't get the lighting right, so when i try to combine the two images, i have a crappy line where the seam is. unless you've gotz the photoshop skillz, and just want the two images, and can combine them yourself and smooth out the edge.


shadow - 4/28/08 at 02:54 PM

i believe thats what he said he'd do...


just scan em, and he'll take care of the rest


insaneintenti0n - 4/28/08 at 02:56 PM

actually, yea, you can combine em. this is gonna take a while. 15 pages that I have to scan twice each. just for the US Brochure


GFresh - 4/28/08 at 02:56 PM

Stop yelling at the poor guy Brian, geez. :o


;)


insaneintenti0n - 4/28/08 at 03:08 PM

LOL. shut up yous.


toyotareference - 4/28/08 at 04:22 PM

Haha... you guys crack me up.

Yeah, send me the two scans and I will combine them. 15 pages!?! That is nothing... these newer Lexus brochures have 50 pages. Thats 100 scans on a normal-sized scanner and an hour of stitching! That's why I just dropped $$ on an oversize scanner, takes me 30 minutes total now instead of two hours.

Make sure when you send me the JPGs that you only put a few in each email. darren_at_toyotareference_dot_com


insaneintenti0n - 5/6/08 at 01:23 PM

they're coming.... someday. I haven't turned that computer back on since well... my last post. maybe some today? sorry, all of a sudden my responsibilities have caught up to my age, lol.


toyotareference - 5/6/08 at 01:34 PM

Well, I just got 91, 92 and 94 brochures in today... I'll scan them soon. I have a bunch of others that are in line first... but in the next couple of weeks I'll have them up.


toyotareference - 8/14/08 at 07:16 PM

All the US brochures are now up.


insaneintenti0n - 8/15/08 at 05:30 AM

glad you didn't wait for me... remember that last post from May saying i hadn't turned that computer on... yea, that's still the case. I use my laptop rarely and my desktop even less so.

but thanks for letting us know. great work on that site.
