Thanks. That was without a doubt the fastest reply to a blog posting I have ever seen!

OK, given that I have a older Cali car which no longer needs to meet any emission checks, what's the advice on simplifying things under the hood? And what sort of parts issues am I going to have? I already know that the transmission filters are different. I didn't see any postings on Cali/Federal model differences.
