Joyrider built ready for painting

Twin seat ANY ENGINE BUGGY from 900cc to 2000cc plus!

The NEW 2010 Joyrider 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 VTR, Peugeot 305. The buggy has being very popular with the Corporate market due to its ruggedness and integrated FULL roll cage.

Blitzworld offer two versons of this buggy, the Joyrider Sport (SB) which is: self build, detailed on this page, or the Joyrider Sport (FB), which is factory built to order by Blitzworld. (click here for link to factory built buggy).

The Joyrider offers twin seat layout with the engine mid mounted for maximum handling. The buggy has custom built adjustable independent coil over suspension all round.

The Joyrider can be fitted with virtually any engine including a bike engine or even a diesel. Blitzworld offer a factory engine fitting service when the chassis is made or you can fit the engine yourself (see options at the bottom of the page for details).

The NEW Joyrider replaces the KR3 buggy and offers a larger engine bay, NEW styling and more rear trailing arm travel.

The Joyrider is based on the Fiat Seicento or Cinquecento, 900cc or 1100cc. The Joyrider only uses a few donor parts from the Fiat, so you can just purchase an engine from a breakers yard, and obtain the remaining parts from one of Blitzworld donor car kits (see donor pack at the bottom of page), or, buy a complete car and strip off the required donor parts yourself.

The Chassis

The design for the Joyrider is significantly different than the KR3 with a new trailing rear arm system New improved driver roll bars, New Top front suspension unit and side nerf bars.

The Joyrider chassis has now NEW styling including integrated driver and passenger protection approved by the SVA & NEW IVA standards.

The roll cage is made from 1.1/4" CDS Tube, with different tube specifications available.

The Joyrider uses a floor mounted pedal box which can be adapted to suit any engine via hydraulic or cable clutch.

The floor is made from aluminium checker plate and is bent up at the sides for extra strength

Engine options

The Joyrider offers more engine options than before due to the larger engine bay and new suspension layout. We recommend up to Two Litre engine, petrol or diesel. We have also had bike engines fitted, but we recommend car engines for more torque.

1.8L K-Series Fitted, with Rear Bumper & Tow Hitch

Engine Fitting

Blitzworld can factory fit your engine during manufacture of the buggy frame. Simply send your engine and gearbox to us and we will fit it into the buggy chassis, (see options at bottom of the page). If you have cutting and welding equipment you can fit your own engine, and we will give you the necessary guidance to fit the engine.

Drive shafts

Due to the amount of configurations of engines and axel spacing we modify the drive shafts to suit the buggy. This is done by a third party company who specialises in this type of work, see options below.

Putting the Joyrider on the road

If you want to put your buggy on the road you will have to take the buggy to a local SVA / IVA centre, where you will be issued with the relevant documentation to put the buggy on the road and obtain a new number plate and chassis number. Blitzworld are now offering a in-house SVA / IVA service where we can do all the necessary paper work and get your buggy through the SVA (see work shop service section for details).

Building the Joyrider - What's Required

Using a Fiat engine (900 or 1100cc)

To build the Joyrider buggy for ON or OFF road use, (using the Fiat Seicento or Cinquecento) you will need the following items listed below. If you are NOT using the fiat engine, you will still require most of the donor car parts, but instead of the Fiat engine and gearbox & wiring loom & ECU, etc you will require additional parts listed below:

Qty	Additional Items required if NOT using Fiat
1	Engine & Gearbox
1	Gearbox drive shafts
1	Engine wiring loom & ECU
1	Fuel Pump
1	Radiator

see links section for donor cars & engines

To build the Joyrider buggy it is advisable to buy a complete donor Fiat Cinquecento or the later Seicento with a V5 vehicle registration document (V5 only required if putting the buggy on the road).

The engine sizes for the Fiat are 900cc or 1100cc. Prices for a good second hand start from about £150. Alternatively you can buy all the parts already stripped from the donor car in one of Blitzworlds donor car kits, (see options available at the bottom of the page).

Blitzworld Build Kit's what's required

The following list is items that are available in the build kits and replace or upgrade some of the existing Fiat parts from the donor car. All the parts listed below are in build kit (JRS-2c). The kits are a guide and can be modified to suit your build requirements, please call us for details.

For Road Use

Qty	Description
4	Suspension units complete
2	Rear Trailing Arm complete with bearings & hub
1	Aluminium checker plate floor
2	Linkage Cables
1	Gearlever assembly support
1	Pedal Box complete
1	Rear disc brake calliper with Handbrake
1	Petrol Tank (custom made)
1	Digital programmable waterproof Dashpod
1	Switches & Controls
1	Lights kit (road legal)
4	Plastic Mudguards
2	Bucket Seats
2	Four strap 2" Seatbelts

Suspension - The existing suspension is too bulky, too hard, not adjustable and very little travel for off road use. We have designed our own front Mc Pherson struts which are compact with adjustable 2.1/4" spring. The struts have a top integral roller bearing to give a very tight turning circle. On the rear we have used a coil over strut & Spring which can be easily adjusted for different engine weights and road conditions.

Rear Trailing Arm - The fiat was fitted with a rear beam suspension which does not allow independent suspension on the rear of the buggy. We have designed and made our own independent trailing arm units to suit virtually all engine combinations available.

Rear disc brake calliper with Handbrake - The rear drum brake on the existing Fiat is not used, as it can clog with mud off road. For the rear braking there are two options:

Off road only
For off road only use we use another fiat front calliper on the rear with a hydraulic handbrake connected via the floor mounted pedal box. This gives a split circuit braking for safety and a very strong handbrake hold of the buggy.

Road & Off road

For more road orientated driving we use a combined disc and mechanical handbrake assembly (SVA / IVA approved) which will fit only 13" or bigger wheels, and NOT the 12" ATV wheels and tyres. Mud and snow tyres can be fitted to the larger rims, but ATV tyres only go up to 12" wheels.

Petrol Tank - The existing tank is too big and bulky for the chassis layout. A smaller custom made tank can be fitted at the front or rear of the buggy. (rear recommended for safety).

Dashpod - This is NOT waterproof, The existing Speedo cable is too short, and it cannot be easily recalibrated when different size wheels are used. We use a bike type electronic dash which is easily recalibrated and is waterproof with most of the switches included.

Switches and controls - The column switches (indicator / lights) are not waterproof on the Fiat and thus can fail when wet. We have replaced the column switch with a simple waterproof switch for indicators and lights are on a button on the dash panel. We offer a complete wiring loom service which includes all the switches required, see build kit options below.

Pedal Box - The Fiat pedal box is servo assisted and works well on the existing fiat which has 2 disc brakes at the front and a drum at the rear. The Joyrider has disc brakes all round and thus a floor mounted pedal box gives better braking from a twin cylinder assembly. It will also adapt to any gearbox being cable or cylinder operated.

Linkage Cables - The existing cables are too short to reach from the rear of the buggy to the front of the buggy. We have made new heavy duty cables which will take punishment from On and off road use.

Gearlever assembly - The Fiat gearlever unit can be used in the Joyrider but is subject to be filled with Mud on off road use. We have redesigned the housing and fitted the unit above the floor to prevent clogging of the mechanism from mud. (see the Joyrider accessories)

Lights - The existing fiat lights only fit the fiat bodywork and do not adapt easily to the buggy chassis. We have utilised lightweight waterproof lights and fittings to suit on and off road driving.

Mudguards - The fiat is fitted with inner mud protectors behind the front wings, we have replaced these with slim plastic standard mudguards.

Seats - The cloth seats have being replaced with vinyl easy to clean bucket seats.

Seatbelts - We replace the standard cross strap belts with a full 4 strap harness.

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 chassis only.

Can I buy the buggy already built and read for the road ?
Yes, Blitzworld are currently building Joyrider buggies to order with all types of engines from 900cc to 2000cc.

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 We have put a list of suppliers on the website where you can find a donor car from as little as £150. (click on the donor cars link on the left hand menu for a list).

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
