[Vwdiesel] States that allow conversions? WAS: TDI Passet 4motion

[Area31 Research Facility]

No sure of current rules but not too long ago Ontaroids were allowed to put 
`other` engines in their vehicles which were never options from the factory. 
As such they were registered under a so called `Hot Rod` classification and 
were exempt from emissions testing.

I`d kinda like to put a 1.6 TD in a motorcycle. Turning one into a 
diesel/electric hybrid with a much, much smaller diesel engine is far more 
likely however.
