Default techinfo.lexus.com. repair manuals online?

http://www.techinfo.lexus.com/

Has anyone used the above site?
I believe they break up the repair manuals into pdf files?

They have a $10/day subscription option.
Is the website fast enough for me to leech the crap out of it in one day with highspeed internet? I just want to get the repair manuals for my 3 toyota/lex's.

I think you can print the page,but you can not save them on disc or copy them on file. I'm sure Lexus already figure this one out.

Yes, I've done it for my ES350 and my wife's Corolla. There is a lot of information and it's all in separate PDF files with weird names, so finding stuff afterwards is difficult. However, if you download enough of the files the embedded links from one to another will work.

But I've downloaded dozens and dozens of files and grouped them into folders like DASH, BRAKES, LIGHTING, etc.. You get 24 hours of access for $10 (actually, until midnight the next day), which is a really good deal if you spend your time downloading. I've actually gone back to get items I've missed more than once, but it's still a great resource for little money.

Yes, you can save the PDFs as files and store them on your PC.

I did it. I download section at a time and made a folder for each category.

Finally I dumped it all into one page (per category) by merging multiple PDFs with the Adobe acrobat.

So now it opens up just like a regular manual..take THAT lexus!
