There is a guy on here, I think he goes by red450yfz, or something like that. He had his turboed. He was parked next to us at the last rally, and took me for a ride in it. Pretty Kewl Twisted Evil

It was a little large for Paddy Creek, but a blast to ride and really soaked up the terrain.

I believe he is in the military and may be oversea's because we have not heard much from him lately, but he checks in everynow and then.

I have a 1600cc joyner sand viper 2 seater. its a fun buggy for the price but i ride it at the dunes and it cant make it up the big dunes. its stock right now but i am thinking of getting an rjs supercharger for it. then hopefully i will be happy with it. if not i am going to get one of the hayabusa buggies. twice the power and half the weight!

I have a 1600 Joyner Sand Viper. As Chris said it is big for trail riding but a blast when you have open sand/dessert. With the turbo I have the power to make it up the big hills at Glamis, Comp was easy, Olds= 50mph in second gear. To this day everyone I give a ride is impressed, especially when I tell them how much I paid. No it doesn't have the power to weight ratio of a Hayabusa powered car, it doesn't have the size or price tag either. As far as the quality of constuction, it's good, may be a little over built. It is on the heavy side, but does feel very solid and safe. In the sand the fastest I have seen is about 83mph. If you stay on hard pack it has plenty of power to be fun. I put a video from the sand drags at the dunes, I think it's called 1600 Turbo. I have about a week left before deployment, I can't wait to get back for the next dune season.

WE WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK!!!!!!!

Yes mine is all stock, Have not been to the dunes yet! But going in May. ( If i can get it fix first ) We went to Kansas Badlands last week-end
and took a jump tooooo Fast and landed a little hard and bent
both rear rocker arms!! Tryed to e-mail & call Joyner to find
replacements but they have not gotten back yet, I think i will
find a good welder here and have some custom made.

Thank you.

Are you talking about the trailing arms getting bent? Do you have the boxed trailing arms? I don't know when Joyner changed the arms but mine are partially boxed, the top and outside. My car is an 07 I got in June 07. If you get replacement arms make sure you get the boxed arms or have them boxed before use.

Thanks jeff

Mine is a 2006 and the trailing arms are not boxed, I bought mine last Nov 07 off e-bay and i think the trailing arms were
bent when i got it. I wish i knew then what i know now i would have had them boxed before i took it out of my driveway!!

And yes Glade i need you to price them up for me.

Thanks

Surely you can get them straitened and boxed locally, I have done a ton of 800 arms that were bent pretty bad.

Later W.C.
