Default Kind of new here, Intro thread

Hello everyone my name is Ozzy and I just wanted to properly introduce myself since I am new to this forum. I recently sold my mk3 supra and picked up a pretty clean sc300 I enjoy participating in the nasa events such as HPDE, hyperdride, autocross and man are they addicting. Im involved here in Phoenix in a few forums and hang out with some of the forum members (AZAWD, AZsupracentral) which is always a good time. I also built the motor that was in my supra with some forged goodies and a 57trim at 21psi. My dad and I like working on cars its a hobby we share, and since he owns a machine shop we have an extra bay dedicated to just cars. Which is really nice in the hot AZ summer days. Anyways I decided to sell the supra and see what I can do with the SC. Which takes me to these forums and I gotta say there are lots of good info and write-ups. So anyways the car is a 1995 White sc300, I looked at a few and around here they were all beat to hell, so when I saw this one I had to get it. The car itself is pretty nice, comfortable, and love the way the design of the car. So thats a little bit about me and the cars. Time for PIX!

Thanks guys. well the plans for the car as of now are, tint this thing asap, new rims, and coilovers. I wanna keep it a reliable car that looks great going down the road. Although I might get bored and make it go fast later down the road haha. Now I do have a question about the disk changer. Yes I know most people could agree they are crap, but I think my car never came with the magazine for the cds. Also the eject light stays on idk if that is normal, I read to unplug the unit for 30 seconds but nothing happened. Here is what mine looks like

I cant remember if thats what the CD cartridge looks like anymore, but that may be the top of it where it says 'caution'. Close the lid and hold the eject button for like 15 seconds, you should hear the thing working which means its ejecting itself. Then slide open the door and it should be up top.
