Hi MR2 fans, here’s something from my catalogue collection I thought people here might appreciate: the JDM only MR Spider. Oddities like this are some of my favourites in my collection they are so peak 90's JDM throw ideas at the wall and see what works.
A few months ago I shared my project digitising original JDM Mitsubishi Evolution catalogues and the response here was really positive, so I thought I’d post an update now that I’ve completed what I currently intend to archive for the JDM Evolution range.
TLDR: JDM Evo 1-9 MR catalogues are now fully scanned and uploaded.
For those that missed the last post, I’ve been working on a personal project digitising and archiving my collection of Japanese catalogues and brochures from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. The goal is to preserve and make this material easily accessible for reference, research, and just browsing for fun. A lot of these catalogues are difficult to find now, especially in decent quality.
New additions are:
This is in addition to the Evo 1 - 6 (+ accessories) that I uploaded previously. As before, you can check them out here: https://jdm-catalogues.com/go/evolution
I’d also appreciate some feedback on an idea I’ve started experimenting with: English translated versions alongside the original Japanese catalogues.
The process im using is largely automated with manual proofreading and re-formatting where needed, but I think it could make a lot of the material more accessible to people who cant read Japanese. I’ve uploaded an English translation demo version of the Evolution 5 catalogue to the site as an example; its a bit rough at the moment but should get the concept across.
Hi WRX fans, here’s something from my catalogue collection I thought people here might appreciate: the JDM only WRX STi Version III V-Limited catalogue, which includes the WRX Type R STi Version (2 door coupe). While I’m normally more of an Evo guy at heart, the GC8 coupe is one of my favourite 90's cars, and I’m quite jealous Subaru made a coupe variant of the WRX STi when the Evo never got one.
