Welcome to the LS fold! You'll find the LS to be a bigger, more grown up Cressida. I have a '91 Cressida I'm using as a beater and a '96 LS. You should have fun with your new car!

What year Cressida?
I had an MX73 '85. There are times I miss that car. At the time I was going to do a 6M swap (lightly built) along with LSD.
