UCF10 upgrade options

Ok I need help from some of you LS400 gurus!

Looking to pick up a UCF10 and wondering a few things:

Suspension and brake:

Will the UCF20 4 Piston Aluminum Caliper (SUPRA BRAKES TOO) bolt up?

What about the UCF30 Calipers?

Swaybar options?

Will coilovers (don't want air) for the UCF20/21 fit?



Interior:

Was there ever a black on black in the 10 or am I just that incompetent in finding one?

The Steering wheels is big and ugly can I swap it with a GS300 wheel or a UCF20/30 steering wheel.

The wood grain wears rather oddly in this car and I was actually thinking of doing black burlwood as is offered by some aftermarket manufacturers.

Aftermarket stereo upgrades would be nice does someone make a dash kit and/or harness adapter?

I plan on having keyless entry with remote start anybody recommend a good brand


Engine:
Reliability of the Toyota engines is great we all know that but some things bother me

Cost of timing belt job:

What other little things go wrong other than powersteering pump that will kill the alternator?


Exterior:

Would love to get a decent setup for a kit something along the lines of a lip kit and sideskirts not to flashy but very suttle and clean to finish the rounded rectangle look of the UCF10. Got any suggestions i was actually thinking of getting something WiseSports like their MidMc. I know some of you gurus know of other brands that i may not have heard of. Oh yeah i like Blick but too aggressive for me.

Thats about it.

If you have anything to add maybe this could turn into a sticky for the UCF10s


Thanks

I can only help you with a few Q's.

~Yes, UCF20/ Supra TT calipers will fit.
~Coilovers for UCF20 will not fit UCF10.
(only setup in the states for UCF10 is JIC FLT-A2 VIP)
~Supra front strut tower bar will fit UCF10 with small (shims/washers) adjustment.

You bring up excellent questions!
HTH!

I'll try to answer what hasn't already been answered...


I don't think Black on black was an option back then...if it was, it's extremely rare.

The steering wheel cannot be swapped with newer/different models...different air bag setups.

Dash kit is available at: http://www.sfxaudio.com/cgi-bin/search.asp?q=Lexus
Double din kits can be found on Japan Yahoo auctions or can be custom made.

Keyless entry/remote start...can't go wrong with Viper/Clifford/etc.

Timing belt job, you can do yourself if you're mechanically inclined following this tutorial:
http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/engine/timingbelt.html
Or take it to a local mechanic who specializes in Lexus cars.

Powersteering pump leak is the main thing to worry about killing the alternator because it sits directly above it.

The most subtle and clean lip kit I can think of is Wald Executive Line.
