Do not think these will hang around for very long.

Would these things fall foul of the 'no alteration of ignition timing' rules?

No, lots of folk are using them. They are not adjustable

So would it be ok to advance the ignition timing on my 620 by a fixed amount but not by means of a FIM thingy?

My understanding was that any messing with the ignition timing was against the rules, (I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't actually read the latest version).

To save you looking, but you should really read the rules.

Class A

1.6.31 Ignition/Engine Control System

Ignition/engine control system (ECU) may be modified or changed. Any alteration that allows the number of degrees of spark advance beyond the manufacturers standard specification is not allowed.

The use of flash memory (‘flash RAM’) for fuel injection mapping is allowed. An additional control unit to change the fuel mixture may be fitted.

So does this mean physically altering the original engine parts is a no-no?

FIM ignition maps are ok?
As are devices to alter fuel mapping?

You might want to read the rules then!
Section 1.6.31 might be of interest
