Tsuki had a full 3D scan which lasted the duration of 2 days so the development could begin. Once the scan was complete, it went into a process called surfacing. This basically turned the scan into a CAD model that allows it to be put into the CFD software. This then enables Andrew to work on a kit that suits our needs before work can begin on making the parts manufacturable. Check out the video on the scanning process which delves into the in&#8217;s and out&#8217;s of what goes into creating the aero parts that we see today.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z-9dacR4tXU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>With the help of various people actually manufacturing the parts including our good friend Ilya Krylov a.k.a <strong>RuskiWeldFab<\/strong>, the car now looks and performs very differently.

This makes our current power to weight ratio 428bhp per tonne but if we can hit out target figures of weight and power, then we&#8217;re hoping we can be at 565bhp per tonne!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tegiwaimports.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BrandsHatch-Rounds-3-4-0651-e1686576499886.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tegiwaimports.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BrandsHatch-Rounds-3-4-0651-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tsuki is already taking the 2023 Time Attack Pro Class by storm.
