Regs like that are just a nightmare to enforce.
Best bet is completely std. The only mod I would allow would be where std parts are stupidly expensive e.g. the exhaust.
The problem with tightly regulated series is that people cheat, the clubs don't have the resources to fully police the regs and even if you don't cheat you can still spend 5k+ blue printing a std F4R engine. So it ends up not being as cheap as you think if you want to be competitive. Some people...
When I did my sump first time the gearbox was still on the engine.
