I guess I had just found the brickboard around the time you blew up your 242. I remember the auto-to-manual swap that ended it all.

"I know its gonna be a bitch trying to fit even 17" on that car.. I really want some 18"..."

17s are easy with just the stock 20mm offset. 18s will fit too. 225/40 on an 18x8 will fit on a lowered 240 with some fender lip cutting on the rear, and the correct offset (about ET15 front, about ET12 rear). Here's the 242GT with 18" wheels.

"...see if i can track down that nick choy character and get some of his performance end links."

Endlinks are available through MVP

"...but the rear tailight assembly is gonna require someone like me to come up with some crazy ass idea fer them to be clear."

I'm not sure where to buy these now, but here's what the clear rear turn signals look like. They used to be sold by hova.com in the form of complete taillight assemblies, but I don't think they carry them anymore.

I've also seen full clear lights on a 244 that were custom made. I'll find the pic and post it later.

Good luck with the Bertone.
