Default Mega's UCF11

Picked this car up from the original owner 11/2012. Its very clean, black/black, all maintenance records in a folder from day 1.

The original owner replaced the stock wheels with the newer ls400 wheels.

How it was the day i got it:




I had all of the windows tinted 20% except the windshield 4/11.

Last week i ordered a bunch o'crap for it, it all came in on 4/26, so today i did some work.

Jdm UCF11 headlights, nokya 5000k hi/low beam bulbs, nokya 2500k fog light bulbs, clear bumper lights:


Red/clear tail lights:


Mounted/balanced the tires:


I had a set of coilovers on order, but a previous vendor on here tried to scam me, so that was a huge hurdle to get my money back, but i finally got it back yesterday. Im going on vacation for two weeks, so i will order them when i get back and finish the car up.

cleanest UCF1x i've seen in a while

Only correction is that because it's not a factory air suspension car, it's likely a UCF10.

I like these wheels, a classic VIP look.


Even the 16" stocks look good.

the x1 designation signifies air suspension in the US, and air suspension/rear seat lux package overseas.

Your car is so clean! Like, ridiculously clean. Wanna trade? Also, just a thought, but if you want to seal the deal on the classic VIP look, you should look into a billet grille (or fashion one up from some Autozone chrome strips).

Please try not to quote all of the pics. I would like this thread to remain clean.

As for a grill im keeping the stock one, i have ucf10 Toyota celsior emblems on the way, and im thinking about a duce roof spoiler, and a version select ucf20 trunk spoiler.

Love this 400. Everytime I see a black on black its in terriable condition. Interior looks really good. What other plans do you have in store? What kind of rims is that?

Ordered Megan EZ's from circuit motorsports today. Should have then near the end of this month.

I was a professional painter, and bodyman for 8 years. So i am planning on painting the lower half of the car black, the grill black, and all emblems black.

I would like a front lip, and a roof spoiler in the future.

This car is my daily, and i do have plans to move to AZ in about 12 months....so i might take it with me out there, or i might sell it before i move, and start a better build out there.

Nice! I have EZs in my 91. Install is actually a cakewalk. FYI the rears are harder than the fronts so I'd start with those and have the fronts for a nice cooldown I don't know how low you want this thing, but you'll probably need to **** with the preload to get the rears low enough. I had to max out my height adjustment and drop another 0.5 inch by adjusting the preload collars down to be happy.

Agree 100% with everything you're doing. Killer wheels, perfect color scheme, good tint, nice tails, front lip and roof spoiler are money. Hard to find though

I can see what you mean. Im not 100% sold on the red/clear tails yet. But im giving them a chance. Im thinking everything will pull together better when the car is dumped.

Hopefully Circuit motorsports ships my coilovers soon.....
