Mine will be for sale at the end of this season, (moving up to SR4) its got all the bits you describe and a bit more, but yes you are being a bit optimistic at 10k !!

I concur that 10k is a little optimistic for this sort of spec. However, there was one for sale in Autosport for not a lot more, with lots of spare wheels. It was run quite successfully by Jay Wheals last year, and might still be up for grabs...

Don't you mean XR4 Tony?...no doubt you'll be trailing round the Fast Ford paddock at Pembrey.

Tell us all! I thought the V8 was going in an SR3? Does the SR4 have four seats or something?

Oops, sorry.. meant to reply to this thread but couldnt as the PC went crazy so had to start another account..

Back to the radicals, I can up my budget to 12k, but I must have a drysump system for trackday use. There are a couple of over priced ones on the market but considering I missed a fully specced one (brakes/drysump/Slidecarbs,crashbox,etc..) for 9K and aonother with brandnew bodywork for the 11.5K mark, I am waiting for the right car to show up.

As most of the Clubsports are raced (I think), then November will be the time to pick up a bargain or two...

Well done - I saw that pop up in Autosport again last week, and wondered if you'd get it.

I'd strongly advise getting a respected Radical race team (or the factory) to give it the once over, set the suspension up etc. The factory should also be able to provide you with a checklist of things to do before each outing...
