wil_h raised this question the other day but I cant find the thread to see if there was a resolution on it or not.

Ive got 4 std 998 A+ engine,s so not overly worried, but if need be, could I go +20 thou? and still get away with the 1400cc class?

I know it would be over the 1400cc limit, so prob wishful thinking, but I know with rallying as long as the stock engine is below the limit originally, you can get away with up to a +60 thou rebore

i.e it used to be ok to use a 1330 in the 1300cc class for stage rallying

Does a similar 'allowance' exist for hillclimbing, i cant spot anything in the blue book?

Cheers

Joe

The answer is yes and no. There is no actual rule to allow it so 1000cc turbo is the strict limit.

But this is not a professional sport with money prizes and as +20 is the smallest available on an NLA block you'll be ok.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

If you stretch it to 1100 then there might be problems but a small overbore is not going to give a great advantage
