Shaft Diameter? That's a new one.
Read the rules here: https://www.nasaproracing.com/rules
3 points for non-BTM shocks, no reservoirs
2 points for non-BTM springs
Xidas = 5 points.

Here is a link to the actual rules rather than your crappy general link:
https://nasa-assets.s3.amazonaws.com...cial_Rules.pdf
So to spoon feed you, here is the complete rule rather than your edited crap:
2) Non-BTM shocks/struts/dampers with a “Piggy Back” external reservoir (fixed reservoir
without a connecting hose) OR with shaft diameter 40mm or greater—must still take
additional points for the springs below +5 (May have spherical tops and/or bottoms)
So, I have done a year with NASA TT in a Mustang, I have done three years with NASA in CMC, and now am looking at an NB1 TT car, so tell me how I get 3 points for Xidas with the 46mm shaft diameter.
Hey, I am trying to find a cheap NB1 Miata to build for TTE, and I would love to have the extra two points, but tell me why the 46mm diam Xidas don't take the points.

I'm sorry your highness. If it bothers you that much I will delete my post. I thought someone here would know since registration may be a similar process for hpde and tt. I'm working through hpdes to be eligible to run tts.
Anyways, I appreciate your answer, I figured it out thanks to you.

Congrats on the win and new record Dan! Hopefully I'll meet up with you at NCM or Mid-Ohio this year. Wait, are you going to do Hyperfest at ViR in May?
I really want to do this build listed above, I had it planned out for a good while now. However, the engine build I quoted in bold..... I just can't justify dropping the money on a rebuild like that just to have the rules change on me next year.
Braian, just do HPDEs this year with your car as-is. The rules for D/E will likely change next year and definitely the year after that. You might end up with a good combo for TT6.
Just playing with the NASA calculator, this is what I would build:
NB1, 2410# 146whp
83.5mm 9.9:1 blueprinted
full exhaust
stock cast header
MS3 Pro
E85
CAI
Xida 1000/400
stock sway bars
OS Giken & 4.77
15x9 6UL
SM7
Pretty much what we ran in 2013 but now with 2pts leftover that I would use for ELBJ's.
