CarGene

CarGene is a curated database of Japanese cars, with the source behind each fact. Ask about a model and it answers from the database: which generations were sold and when, their chassis codes, the engineers who developed them, how generations relate (successor, sibling, derivative), catalog specs by grade (power, torque, weight, dimensions, prices) and sales figures by country and year. For a generation, it lists the aftermarket parts (wheels, coilovers, mufflers, brake pads and more) that a published fitment table, such as the maker's own, confirms to fit. Parts guessed from bolt pattern or size are never included. In Japan, it finds car service shops confirmed to offer a service near a city or ward: vehicle inspections (shaken) with the total price for the car's weight class, cheapest first, car washes, coatings, wheel alignments and coilover fitting. It also searches the used cars that dealers list on car-gene.com, and tells the year each generation turns twenty-five and becomes importable to the US. Read-only. No account or sign-in is needed.
