NASA TT4/ST4 tubular subframe legal in 2023...
Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere yet, but this looks like it opens up TT4 for K swapped cars not using the stock subframe...
Has anyone had their K swapped Miata 'evaluated' by NASA yet?

Front non-OEM and tubular sub-frame swaps that mount to OEM mounting locations, for the purpose of facilitating a motor swap, will be evaluated by the National Director on a case-by-case basis requiring proof of OEM suspension geometry and with a -0.4 Modification Factor assessment.

There are now ways for a K24Z3 to make K24A2 power. It's obviously not free $$ to do that, but the option is there to hit the same power goals and retain the 0.4.
I suspect the k24a2 + V8R/KP subframe to pass this rule though. Same pick-up points and all. I don't personally know of anyone that did this "inspection" yet.
