Emissions by far are going to be your biggest pedo. Especially with a toyota .
Sorry but they just suck when it comes to that.
There are a few places in cali that are a little more lenient but, they are few and far between. I'm living on old registration that I only have to do once. I haven't moved the registration because I know my car won't pass the inspection, and prob the emissions.
Good luck and make sure you do that tune up
