I was debating on going to black or white, but to be honest, Shern's old car, the 1JZ'd SC300 with the 97+ kit and 95 taillights made me want this color more.

It will grow on you, as some have said, with the right stance and the right wheels. Here's mine after clay bar, polish, rewash, wax and Meguiars Quik Detailer:






Supra shocks and Springs with 18" FR500's and Falken 512 225/40-18 & 912 245/40-18 tires.

Your car looks good, just work with carefully and selectively and treat her right. If it breaks, it WILL be expensive if you don't take care of it. Welcome to the club!

Hating those wheels. But I'm a total wheel snob. I don't like the way most of the Work's look either. I like the rears a little with the lip. Not a big fan of the gold either. Still clean as a whistle though.

Those wheels are way better then stocks. They are hideous

I might be buying some XXR-521 for a killer deal

Careful not to hydro-lock your engine while seafoaming!

Should I not put it in brake booster line ?

Would the engine oil and fuel tank be fine ?

If you do it in very incremental steps it'll be fine. Just don't pour the entire contents down the brake booster. Also, I know for a fact that Justice Brothers make a better fuel cleaner than Seafoam is. I would use 1/3 Seafoam in the brake booster and the rest in the oil.

The most commonly "passed on" application is putting it in the oil. I have not done it but the guys who dont trust it, dont trust it MOST in the oil, therefore I would hesitate to INCREASE the amount in the crank case. The can says 1/3rd crank, 1/3rd tank, 1/3rd booster i'd try that.
Better yet, arm yourself well by doing a seafoam search on this site and READ IT ALL. There are a few great threads.

Very nice first car. My first car was an 88 Honda Civic sedan that had bad rings and used to throw out a bunch of black smoke, actually got pulled over 3x in a week for it lol. The tan is not a bad color if you can work it, stance it with some nice black, dark bronze or gold wheels and it will look sweet.
