Default learning

Did the 95 really LEARN, or did it simply start working properly after the intermittent wiring was fixed. Most modern day engine computer's firmware will drop into detuned mode, sometimes moderately and sometimes serious, depending on the defiect detected.

I think the only thing modern day automotive computers "learn" is your driving style, maybe.

The 92 SC's do not have a learning CPU.

Thats strange as the J spec V8 & TT have learning ECU's (which can be a pain).

I'm having my sway bar links changed Oct. 1. That's the only thing I 'need' to do. I'm getting my first real estate check this month which will be pretty big. I should be frugile, but I'm toying with some ideas.

What would you guys do to a SC300 with 169,650 miles?

There's a Greddy MX exhaust for sale at some site. From 1050 to 800ish. This is something I don't really need, but would be nice.

I got Tokico shocks and an air filter this year and replaced my timing belt 2 years ago.

Thanks again
I would do a tune-up if needed and then the mods. If you want the Greddy MX I can hook up with my friend who is selling it for somewhere around 750 bucks.

BTW, there is a meet being held on November 23rd at Lexus training center, Naperville, IL. Hope you can make it.

Chris
