List of updates

A lot of people asked me for a JDM car database, but I was facing trouble because most websites from Japan are in Japanese language while they needed English specifications. In March 2019 a customer told me about one Japanese website in English and after this I found 3 more similar websites, I choose the best one, coded a scraper and published database for sale in April 2019.

Note: sales of Japan database been lower than expected. I do scrap makes to get models URLs (takes 2 minutes) then scrap models to get versions URL (takes 40 minutes), so I can monitor how many cars are added. I do scrap versions details (which takes 22 hours) ONLY WHEN someone purchase this database and/or ask an update.
