_Page under construction  Joyrider Sport Buggy self build Twin seat any engine Road Legal Buggy  Designed & Manufactured in the UK by Blitzworld Introduction
The Joyrider Sport Self Build (Kit-Car) buggy offers twin seat layout with a rear mounted engine for maximum grip and handling. The Joyrider Sport is the very latest Road Legal buggy from Blitzworld and has had already some very high performance engines fitted, including the popular Honda Type R, with over 220 bhp, Citroen Saxo VTS (120 bhp), Peugeot 305, Ford Zetec etc.
Design The design for the Joyrider is significantly different than the previouse KR2 (single seat) and the KR3 (twin seat), with a new rear trailing rear arm system, new improved driver roll bars with extra 2" headroom, new top front suspension units and side nerf bars. We are constantly developing our buggies and through different applications and engines used our vehicles have proved to out last cheap imported vehicles; on reliability (standard parts), structural strength (42mm dia roll cage), ease maintanance (accesability), parts availability (standard car parts available all over the world).   KR3 buggy (left) & Joyrider Sport (right) The Joyrider Sport chassis is made from very strong CDS 1.1/4" Tube, with 40x40x3 box section on the base of the chassis for strength. The frame uses triangular sections for added strength and the drivers section is protected by front and rear crumple zones. The chassis is jigged and argon-mix mig welded for strength. The floor is folded profiled aluminium checker plate. For road use we add front and rear bumpers for IVA requirements (see option on chassis selection). We also offer engine covers and guards for the road legal requirements.     Joyrider chassis We have now integrated into the chassis a metal bonnet and metal bulk head around the hanging pedal box, with side impact driver protection bars with an integral nurf bar built into the chassis side, for driver and passenger safety, this has being approved by the new IVA regulations. Maintanance
Typical Maintance This is the typical maintance from our own Joyrider buggy in 12 months testing, run on extreme off road tracks.
The rear trailing arms are made out of 80x40x6 box and 30mm profiled plate, with double bushing, and they are very strong secured with two M14 pins.  Typical prices of other buggy parts
On a typical year testing the Joyrider on some of our 2500 acre extreme tracks (some unnaviagable by 4x4 vehicles) we took the buggy beyond its limit, and we broke a few parts that were engine related, NOT buggy related. Typical parts were existing engine mounts, (we now make our own on all engines used), drive shafts, (we now completly remake the drive shafts using universal joints). Build steps 1-8 We have now broke the Joyrider down into 8 simple build steps, this makes the build process eaiser and allows you to skip steps if necessary. The steps cover a multitude of build options covering from a small bike engine to a 2L + car engine. Step-1 Chassis The chassis option lists the main Joyrider basic chassis, which then offeres with further options of xxxx.xxxx. Step-2 Engine Select from Blitzworld supplied engine or your own engine. Blitzworld also offer a engine fitting service for virtually any engine. Step-3 XXX xxxxxxxx. Build Manual The Joyrider kit is supplied loose assembled with the majority of parts attached, rather than a pile of bits. It makes delivery of you chassis eaiser as most are rolling chassis. The wiring looms are custom built to the engines and are fully labled making it easy to connect.

Once your buggy is complete bring the buggy along to Blitzworld and we will take care of putting your buggy through the IVA test. Building the Joyrider Sport - What's required Due to the popularity of the NEW Joyrider Sport and TV work we have updated the build kit to suit the different engines available. To build the Joyrider you can now just simply supply Blitzworld with an engine and components i.e. (engine, gearbox, fuel pump, radiator, expansion bottle, and battery) and we will fit and mount them to the chassis and connect up the drive shafts. Alternativley if you dont fancy stripping a donor car, you can get the donor car dropped off at Blitzworld and we will strip the car for you (there is a charge for donor car dismantling). The finished Joyrider buggy kit is supplied from our unit assembled (see list below): Frequently asked Questions Is the price shown at the top of the webpage the complete price of the buggy? No, the price at the top of the website page is for the rolling chassis only, which includes all the parts, excluding the engine. This gives you the option to get a virtually complete buggy and fit you own engine. (Blitzworld offer an engine fitting service). Can I buy the buggy already built and read for the road ? Yes, Blitzworld are currently custom build Joyrider buggies to order with virtually any engine, bike or car. Can you fit a bike engine ? Yes, due to the configuration of the chassis it lends its self well to take any engine including a motor bike engine. Is the Joyrider buggy road legal ? Yes the Joyrider is road legal, but you have to hold a current car driving licence to drive it on the public highways including motorways. Do I have to buy a donor car? No, due to the NEW rolling chassis kit, the donor parts are included in this initial price. Do you have to have a licence to drive the buggy off road? No, for off road use you do not have to have a licence. If you want to drive on green lanes around the country you do have to have a licence and the buggy needs to be road legal. How safe is the buggy on & off road ? Due to the wide selection of engines available for the buggy we have made the Joyrider from CDS tube making the chassis roll cage very strong. The buggy design offers the driver and passenger a complete roll cage with a front and rear crumple zones. Also driver air bag options are available. Does the buggy have to go through SVA / IVA ? Yes, the buggy has to go through the government approved SVA (single vehicle approval) New test IVA, testing which affects most kit cars on the road today. The test costs about £450 and once passed the vehicle does not require a MOT for 3 years. Can I build some of the buggy myself and Blitzworld to complete the build ? Yes, you can take the build to any stage and we can complete the remainder of the buggy build to Off or road legal status if as required, helping to keep costs to a minimum. Do you have to put the buggy on a trailer to take it to a track day? No, due to the light weight of the buggy, we can supply a tow hitch that bolts under the front of the buggy lifting the front wheels off the ground, and then the buggy can be towed like a trailer. If you register your buggy as road legal you can then drive the buggy to and from the track day events. How to order The price at the top of the website page is for the Joyrider Sport rolling chassis which includes the parts listed and your engine fitted. The following options allows you to tailor your requirements to suit your own budget. All the joyrider parts are available on the blitzworld website including the base chassis only.
