My 00 UCF21
Hey guys, my name is chino and i live in the bay area.
I got my UCF21 through my uncle since he is moving back to stamford, CT. The car is very reliable and i enjoy the ride quality. So far i noticed one problem and i believe its the FCAB is worn out. It has this weird clunking sound whenever i hit the brakes. I plan to fix this problem soon and perform all maintenance that are required before i proceed with my VIP build. I am currently looking for an exhaust set up and based on what i have researched through this forum that a magnaflow product will best suit this 1UZ engine. Please feel free to chime in on what kind of exhaust set up you guys have along with the part #'s for more accurate information. Highly appreciated and peace!
Here is my 2000 Lexus LS400 with 2007 GS350 10 spoke wheels 17x7.5 ET45 and it cleared my BBK with out any spacers.

Thanks RA40!
Thanks Yoshi! I actually got the wheels for $200, in mint condition. The oem 16's makes the car look old in my opinion.
Thank you King! Actually it gets really foggy here in the place i live in. I took the pictures around lunch time lol
Yes, black leather interior! I rate it as 8/10 with its current condition. What do you have in mind in this build?

^ what do you mean?
I'm saying if it we're mine I'd have a hard time doing much to it since it looks so good in stock form.
I would however tint the windows, get some updated LS430 17" wheels, maybe lower it the 1" or so on some Eibachs/H&r's, and update the HID bulbs to new Philips units to restore the output. And you can't go wrong with a little sound system.
Some cars just look 'best' in OEM+ looks.
