Does slammed this weekend rule out picking up today or tomorrow? I work in Natick and could shoot out there to get it. Nice days are already here and I can't wait to get her rolling again.

CA 1.7L vs rest of US

CA engines had lower compression and thus less HP: 69 vs 76 respectively. Since I own a CA car, but live in SC, can I make any "free" modifications to increase HP?
