NEW PRODUCTS! diiviinemedia.com/new-products
After 2 and 1/2 years of searching and bidding for this car, I finally have it. My very own Toyota Century Limousine! This car has every single feature you could ask for out of a car, from comfortable interior and spacious legroom, to a bespoke 5.0L V12, a TV, electric curtains, massaging heated reclining seats, pillows, touchscreen navigation and even a way to lay down while being driven around in comfort. This car is Japan's most prestigous luxury vehicle, as well as Toyota's most expensive vehicle manufactured to date, and you'll find out why in this video. I couldn't be happier with this purchase, its everything I could have hoped for and so much more!

President Marco, that was epic :) For the car put the similar wheels as on the LS400 on it! And get that airline mod for the possibility to lower it when suitable 👌

Don't be discouraged by the one-off style! the engine uses mostly 1JZ components, and much of the wiring is shared across multiple models, so unless there is catastophic failure or body damage, it should be easy to manage

@@streetfighter398 pretty much, simmilar to the McLaren F1's S70/2 and it's dual S50 motor, it merges two 1JZ blocks. along with one reverse-flow head on the passenger side, so yes its two 1j's with one of them being reverse flow and mirrored

@PandamoniuGaming Жыл бұрын

I have the controller you were talking about for the bags in my 04 Crown Majesta (the model that's below the Century) and I can say that it made no noticeable difference to the ride quality compared to the stock setup, it still feels like you're driving on a cloud so I'd highly recommend getting it to lower it a bit

@bumpyspade3936 Жыл бұрын

I have the air controller you are talking about in the video on my 98 LS400. My car is on the original air bags. And it has been driven in nordern Norway for its entire life. 250k Km, summer and winter driving. The air controller was installed over 1 year ago. 0 problems with the system. Even driving it superlow

I think it’d be really cool to do a video or two on researching the history on the car. Being such a rare and expensive car, it probably wouldn’t be too difficult to trace it back 25 years. The fancy shoe horn with the name really intrigued me.

@fomsoner5707 Жыл бұрын

This is one of those cars where the only mods I would do is tint, wheels, and maybe like a custom exhaust with a remote exhaust valve to keep it quite still. I would leave it stock for the most part and enjoy it, but congrats Mike!

@mccullummedia Жыл бұрын

So sick, I would keep it stock for sure, will probably be worth big money someday.

@FracturedGoblin Жыл бұрын

Congrats man! I will also own one of these one day. I say just get the factory air controller and wheels and call it a day. Even with the stock bags they can almost be slammed all the way. Maybe exhaust cutouts you control for occasional noise when you want it. That's what I'd do. Can't wait to see what you do

@freikinpoptarts Жыл бұрын

only mod that was not brought up in the video.. this needs the most KILLER sound system. just keep it all non intrusive and reversible. Dual sealed 12's or 15's, 3 way components front and back, good amps to drive them all loud and clean, and either a classy head unit that blends in with the console or wire it up incognito with just bluetooth input. The good thing is the century probably already has tons of sound deadening so no rattles or reverb to worry about!

@kolapodasilva5838 Жыл бұрын

@nicksteele1706 Жыл бұрын

Mike the century is awesome and so damn clean and honestly I think the only thing I'd do to it, is get the wheels that they replicated from the stock ones you talked about. Also try to get the center cap on and maybe if you can lower it like half an inch to a inch if you can and the cutout is a sick ass idea.
