It is for sale on eBay. The only differences are that there's no graphics on the car and it comes with Advan RG (18") gold wheels as opposed to the Velox VX-5 (19") wheels.

I couldn't find out where to find any Advan tires, in fact the only Yokohama competition tire I could find was the A032R. Check out the pic below and see if that's what you're looking for. If not you can always contact Yokohama (Advan in Japan) and ask them about the possibility of importing tires.

Talking bondo like a motha.....

i think the supra tails are fu*king clean,.....i say go for it,....and its not that exspensive.....all you have to do is remove you stock 240 light and then fill it with sheet metal, bondo over it.....sand it down.....then goto a toyota dealler and go to the service parts area, order the tail lights and then take them to a shop...(preferably one you trust)...and have them cut the slots for the new lights put them in....paint the car and you should be done,....i know its not as easy as im making it sound but....you get the jist of it....i only left out the minor things.....

p.s. make sure they are straight,.....theres a yellow civic....with supra tails....yeah one isnt straight......

but hey, he can do that....hes Mike Tran...related to Kenny Tran,...well maybe yall dont know who they are but kenny has a 95 240 with a sr20det....and it pumps 435 hp....its a little evil.....

I think that looks pretty sick to be honest with you...I never woulda thought of doing that. I've been looking into buying the 95-98 240 for a while and I just wanted to do the S15 front and leave the back stock. I dunno. I'm a noob so right now I'm just lookin at options.

HMMMM......

hmmmm.....2 years and the bondo cracks....riiiight.....whos doing your bondo jobs...if you do it right....and after the bondo is settled you sand it down and put a fiberglass cover over it....it lasts a hell of alot longer then 2 years......i only say this because my first 240 was a peice of **** and i bondoed the whole backend back together....because it cracked in half....lol.....but i sold it to my friend and as far as i know its still holding that was like 4 years ago......

there is a difference between bondo used in thick coats to repari rust because you're lazy and bondo being used to mold kits. bumpers move and flex. as does the chassis. that car will look like **** in 2 years.

I'm glad to see someone else's thought of the Import Tuner issue, that 240 is so gnarly. It's hella bad with the supra conversion, and it's wingless (drool).

I can see the one dude's point about Toyota on Nissan, but that's what is so great about the import scene, you got the total custom/conversion people, the G money a.k.a. bling-bling, and the JDM guys and gals.

I just hope you all enjoy your cars, because they're for you and no one else. I know I love my 240... (more drooling).

Swapped onto an S13 convertible, but still Supra tails.
