Just waiting for my dash to return from BBReman. Well anyway its Great to have a LS.
Yep, I'm in love with it. I'm thinking about an audio upgrade soon as well, however I have some other things that are top priority.

Haha, I appreciate the honesty. I do come off as a bit of a cocky douche sometimes. I'll admit it. Thanks man.

Welcome to ClubLexus
I really wasn't offended at all by PD. He seems like a very knowledgeable guy and I totally respect his opinion.

While I am a former Honda guy, and still an enthusiast, I would normally argue your last comment, however after owning this vehicle and experiencing it, I totally agree. Honda's technology has always impressed me, and I've always put them above every other company, but after owning the LS for a while, I have a whole new respect for Toyota. I can hardly believe the car was built way back in 1991. ****, I am more than amazed by the technology and engineering put into this car considering the age.

Much much love to Toyota.

you dont know the half of it, over a billion was sunk into r&d for this car (f-1) and it took several years of research before the thing ever came out. In 1990 they had massaging rear seats/curtains/gps... truly ahead of its time. In the US we got jipped we didnt get the UL goodness until 2002 iirc?

Actually, I read all of that before I bought the car. Well, most of that anyway. The information is all over the web. That's a big part of why I bought this car.

Welcome to CL 1DIRTY1LS. I was also a Honda lover as well, I had a 90 Accord EX and loved that car. Imo to this day the best cars from the early 90's that are the most abundant on the road today are the 90-93 Accord and 90-94 LS. This is based on overall amount and the amount compared to their direct competition. The shape of the 90-93 Accord is timeless and was so ahead of it's time back then. Once I drove my Dads 94 LS I was instantly a Lexus man from there on. Good luck with your new love. Oh yeah, Megan coilovers all the way.
