This is awesome! Is there a full parts catalog/diagram available?

Far as I know Honda doesn't make a consolidated parts catalog although that would be pretty handy over having to guess which subsystem something belongs to. Majestic Honda (https://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/) is one of my preferred places to browse because they at least have "links within links" from their diagrams.

@drowned12 - apparently the website no longer seems to work even within the TechInfoBrowser Firefox Portable. I was presented with following error message. Any thoughts please? TIA!

FYI everyone, the site is back up at the moment!

Well, this is exactly what I’m doing... created a fully-automated macro in excel. Spent about 4 hours of trial and error to work out the bugs, but she’s chugging along now, about 60% done in a days work. It’s not resource dependent, but it is slow considering the macro has to:
Check to see if file already exists in local directory
open link
Wait 5sec for page to open
Open print dialog
Wait 1sec
Paste title into prompt
Wait 1sec
Convert and save webpage as pdf
Wait 7sec to ensure file is saved before closing
Close the window
And repeat for the next link

Takes about 20 seconds per file.
One hangup is if a file takes too long to open. It doesn’t break the macro since I’m opening new windows for each link. The worst that happens is the file doesn’t save. Since I’m keeping track of what’s downloaded already, it’ll download the next time I start the macro.

Another hangup is sometimes hitting ‘save’ doesn’t always work. Messes up 2-3x per 100 (it was about 10/100 until I optimized it!) All I have to do is click save for each unsaved file and close the windows after the macro is done running. If I run the macro on 1000 links, I may end up with ~30 open windows and that starts to slow me down enough to cause file printing to pdf issues. So I only run about 500 links in a batch.

any chance you could share your method? I would also like to do this for "everything"
