I am interested in buying a second car for the track, ideally a Radical.

I have tried searching this forum and the rest of the web, but can find very little on what differentiates the models.

I am looking to spend £10-12k which obviously puts an SR3 out of the question.

I see there are lots of different models e.g. prosport, clubsport, tracksport etc. but I'm having a lot of trouble working out which model offers what!

Does anyone have a link which will give me a load of information of the clubsport, tracksport, and prosport models? As much information as I can get on each would be great.

Problem with Radicals is they get modified from thier original state particulary Club and Pro Sports. The basics are -

Clubsport - Nik-link front ARB, AVO shocks, Kawasaki 1100cc engine, 2 pot brakes and solid discs, 13x6" and 13x8" wheels, just front splitter and rear gurney flap, cross-ply tyres

Prosport - Nik link front and rear, Koni shocks, Suzuki 1300/1500cc engine, 4 pot brakes, vented discs, 13x8" and 13x10", full aero package, Radial tyres

Both cars share a lot in common, the better buy is the Prosport but they command a higher premium. Clubsports are cheaper.

Thanks for this Rob.

The Prosport does seem to be the one to go for. Is this a road-legal model or is it limited to track-use only (not really an issue, just curiosity).

Also, does the Prosport have two seats or one? I would ideally like 2 seats as the car would be shared with my brother.

Many thanks for your help.

Normally the old clubsports and prosports have only one seat. However, Van Kaiser performs very nice two seat conversions. I bought a clubsport with a two seat converson and prosport wing and this is in your price rance. I am fairly sure that Van has a converted prosport available and maybe a clubsport. If you are interested let me know and I can give you Van's contact details.

Cheers

I have exactly the same Van Kaiser conversion (the first!!) it's very good.
