Subaru Forester 2.0XT is my two-in-one daily and sleeper. It is the perfect combination of work car, offroad vehicle and thanks to all wheel drive it also handles quite well on the wet, snowy streets. Engine, exhaust, interior and audio system modifications made it even more enjoyable to drive. At this point the whole floor and suspension is restored and coated to prevent rusting. All rubber suspension elements were replaced with polyurethane. Exhaust is custom welded and equipped with Flowmaster DBX muffler, which combined with unequal length headers makes the rumble. Intercooler over twice as big as the original and 07’ WRX STI turbocharger provided 40hp increase without remapping! The goal is to safely reach 280hp on stock internals.
The leather interior was cleaned and colored with professional paint. The entire car was sound deadened, speakers replaced, wide range tweeters added and a 12 inch subwoofer in custom manufactured OEM look fiberglass enclosure was mounted in the trunk. The soundsystem is controlled by Pioneer headunit with Apple Car Play, and powered by two amplifires. Good quality woofers and well placed widerange tweeters provide desirable scene effect and sound clearence, even when the music is really turned up.

Formula Student is a prestigeous international student engineering competition held on famous racing circuits all over the world. The aim is to design, build and race formula style cars.

I wanted to take part in a student project since I started my studies . Back then there was no Formula Student team on our Technical University so my friends decided to establish one. I am the part of the team from the very beginning and was involved in the design, production and assembly of almost every part of our three constructions made until now. Soon after I joined the team I have been elected Main Coordinator and Chief Engineer of the team. This project subtantially improved my 3D modeling skills as well as knowledge, teamwork and managment skills.

Technical specification of our latest construction:

• Engine: Triumph Street Triple R 675ccm with standalone management unit
• Intake Manifold: 3D pronted in SLS technology
• Drivetrain: Custom with limited slip differential
• Gear Shifter: Pneumatic
• Brake System: Based on Wilwood components with custom aluminium brake rotors.
• Aerodynamics: Carbon fiber
• Frame: Steel tube
• Suspension: Independent A arms with Rock Shocks Kage RC dampers

Once upon a time there was a dull tourist chopper. Its neatly designed rear suspension, which pretends to be a rigid frame inspired us to make it into a bobber. Wearing the colours of summer and sea, it is a really handsome Tri-City cruiser.

• weight reduction by about 50kg
• custom made composite fenders and motorcycle body elements
• new paint and handmade fairings.
• custom-made saddle, plaited with leather straps
• custom tripple tree, wires hidden in handle bar, custom front and rear lamps and blinkers
• custom Vince & Hines pipes

The motorcycle has maintained very good drive parameters, and thanks to weight reduction, it has become even easier and more enjoyable to drive. A large comfortable seat has prooved itself on long routes. The motorcycle is equipped with a removable luggage carrier, which is useful on the road and does not interfere with the cool urban appearance.

SFM Junak – Polish motorcycle, produced by the Szczecin Motorcycle Factory in 1956-1965. It was the heaviest motorcycle and the only model equipped with a four-stroke engine produced in the Polish People’s Republic (1945-89). The construction, developed in 1951-1952 in the Engineering Department of the Automotive Industry by the team headed by J. Ignatowicz, outranked many motorcycles of renowned world companies of that time. Many Junaks were exported, among others to Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey, Venezuela, Mongolia and Cuba. Junak has also been sold in the USA, including the Scrambler on- road/off-road model.

• bought as a broken, brush painted „exhibit”
• disassembled into single parts, including the engine
• all aluminum parts were cleaned, leaving a rough original surface structure
• all chrome elements have been refurbished or replaced with new ones
• a general overhaul of the engine was carried out
• all elements received a new coat of paint with hand-painted details (akin to the method that was originally used in the factory)

Currently, the motorcycle is fully operational and „road ready”. Until the magneto is regenerated, the original ignition has been temporarily replaced with electronic one (based on ignition coil). Although not original, this solution does not affect in any way the beautiful sound of Junak, reason for which it is sometimes called the Polish Harley.

Sometimes opportunity makes the project. Chaotically assembled but cheap replica of Lotus 7, plus the fun I had during construction of Jabooar made me decide to build another one. This one was way worse to work on then the one I built from scratch…. Fortunately the engine, frame and suspension were fine. But the rest….. It would take a long time to decribe. A really good deal at the first sight, but then? Hmmmm…

• Newly painted frame and body
• New wiring, new electric system, electronic ignition.
• Lot of visual tuning, new console, seats, upholstery, head protectors, rear bumper with a spare wheel.
• New fuel system

Final effect is worth of the effort put in (I hope). But do I need really two Lotus 7 replicas…?
