The Century is one of the "276hp" cars. The export version was 295hp, so if you took out whatever limiters are on it or got it tuned more naturally itd probably be about 300hp, stock and in good shape. Taking the century to a tuner with a dyno would be a wild episode lol. Super fun for sure. (Not to change it, just to find out a bit more about it and run it on a dyno lol)

Not really, it actually makes alot of sense as an enthusiast, we want experience 100% of the time, whether that experience is sporty “race car” like, or ultra luxury super rich but for cheap, we aren’t happy with “normal” for a car even if we’re using it for “normal” things . Notice the way Thomas mentions how he appreciates the care and quality craftsmanship that went into the Century specifically, that’s not something that a non car person would necessarily care about because it doesn’t lend itself to being a clout machine. James also mentions in the Century video that he really likes how it has a simple goal but it executes that goal very well, it’s not showy it’s not flashy, it’s not capitalistic in its intent which is very similar to how the AE86 engine swap or no was designed, it was supposed to be a cheap fun driver’s car, and while it’s no longer as cheap to this day it’s still a fun driver’s car, it’s not fancy or flashy, and it’s not the fastest car, but it’s very fun to drive and can teach drivers a thing or two from driving it, simple goal executed well… So it makes sense that people like Thomas and James are going to perk up when hearing about the Century, even those it’s not as “sporty” as most enthusiast cars it is still a car that can be and will be appreciated by proper car enthusiasts…

A medal for watching the whole video! WHAT?! This was GREAT! AND, bonus, you guys mentioning a future road trip! Can't wait to see you car choices and where you are going. So, to the cars... I love James' choices but, have a soft spot for Thomas's Alfas. When I wore a younger man's clothes (tip of the hat to Billy Joel) I owned a 69 Alfa Spider with SPICA fuel injection (purchased in 73). Loved that car but, I was too practical for my own good and thought I needed something more utilitarian for traveling from duty station to duty station while in the Navy. Not a day goes by that I don't regret that decision. Oh, and I totally relate to that second gear grind! If I could get another one before I pass from this veil of tears, I would die a happy camper. Being greedy, I'd also LOVE to park a GTV in the garage next to my Spider. You mention a lot of ideas for future videos and they all sound great! Thank you for the content gentlemen, it is greatly appreciated!

“What’s the weight?” I don’t know, it’s just right. That really feels so good. My rsx type s weighs under 3000 lbs, and it has more than stock power, but I don’t know how much. Love it! Just can’t wait to get all the little stuff fixed(steering slider install, dents and paint chips fixed, alignment and less oil leaks)

As a '93 3sge mr2 owner that just swapped a fresh '99 3sge(coupled with an lsd diff!), I absolutely love the induction sound of that engine! Yes it's a bit underpowered for the 2nd gen MR2 but dear lord do they sound good even in the earlier revisions! NA all the way if you ask me, 3sge is an absolute gem of an engine!

The transition (esp audio) from the Alfa Spider to Miata drive was so smooth I had to skip back a few times to admire it

This was such a great video to really see you two interact, appreciate, and give a window into why you each love the cars you do - and what it is you each look for that fits your preferences as drivers. Your dynamic is awesome, and I absolutely love this channel and these videos. Grateful for as long as you guys keep it up.

Another good thing from Flyin Miata is their Big Little Brake kit, four piston aluminum calipers fron and rear, with braided SS hoses. I have that on my '16 Sport and like them. Quite a bit lighter than the OEM iron calipers.

You guys are the coolest car enthusiast duo ever. This video reminds me of Extra Throttle House with just a bit more production value, and yet your conversations and off the cuff humor feels so natural and fun to watch. Keep it up!!

James, I have a 2023 miata too and I installed the zeta...perfect height and handling is so much better. Before I was thinking about sway bars. However, after this suspension installed (plus flying miata recommended alignment spec) there is absolutely no need for sway bars. Installation was quite easy too and service support is above and beyond.

It is nice to see the two of you review these cars of different power and handling levels and can appreciate them for what they can do. Spaghetti reminds me of my SH Forester X. Handles like a racecar with full aftermarket STi suspension components and coilovers but is soooooo slow. Takes forever to get to redline in each gear. It is my daily. Its loud. Its bouncey and I love it!

I joined the Air Force in 1983. In 1986 I was sent to Germany for 3 years. I picked up a German spec Mark2 1983 GTI from a guy returning to the US. What a blast. I credit that car with making me a hot hatch guy.

The top on my '72 Alfa Spider leaked, the water dripped onto the seat. Once it soaked the seat before a hard freeze, driving to work on a solid brick of ice was a special experience.

Loved this show. We all have cars we’ve owned that we loved and wished we still had; I loved seeing what you guys have and why you love them. And our car loves are never perfect, sometimes the imperfections are what make them so wonderfully memorable to us!

I have the F87 M2 as well thanks to Thomas' on track review of it. First thing I did was change out the transmission mounts with rogue engineering ones and there's a lot more feel between each gear shift now. highly recommend.

I love this video. You both had so much enthusiasm for your cars and love to share your stories. We see the passion in you and it brings it out in us. You made us appreciate and like every car, even with each one's idiosyncrasies. You take us back in time and remind us why we fell in love with automobiles.

I will take pretty much any of the cars shown in this video. That Toyota Century is so beautiful and quite. The Alfa Romeo Spider seems like a really fun car. I also find it funny with James owning loudest and quietest Toyotas fun.
