The True Sports Car
Our new Clubsprint XL is a lightweight performance orientated back to basics two seater car, the kit has been designed from the outset to be a one donor car using proven and easily obtainable 1989-2005 MX5 components that make it extremely economical both to build and maintain.
For most builders the most difficult part is the wiring. By using the MX5 donor car, the complete loom including the computer is taken out and reused in the Clubsprint, its that simple, only a few wires have to be extended or shortened
The Clubsprint XL has more interior space than any of our competitors and makes it suitable for a wide variety of drivers and with the larger engine bay makes it suitable for a wide variety of engines. Though for most builders the MX5 range of engines will give the performance they want, as these can be supercharged or turbocharged for more power but will still keep the build simple.
The Clubsprint XL design ensures that it uses the majority of MX5 parts in unmodified form. This means that the mechanical build is simply removing the parts from the MX5, cleaning, inspecting and reconditioning if required then bolting them to the Clubsprint XL chassis.
The kit is offered in packs, this makes it completely flexible to suit your budget or the space you have available to build the car.

By using the MX5 for the mechanical components, we are tapping into the strength, reliability and handling characteristics for which this car is known around the world.
The XL is longer, wider and higher than most clubman type cars which means it can accommodate a wider range of engines.
It can also accommodate a wider range of drivers.

They can be supplied in a gelcoat finish in a colour of your choice providing a substantial saving on the cost of the finished car
We make it easy to understand what you get with each kit and what you need.
It can also accommodate a wider range of drivers.
The Clubsprint Chassis is made from ERW steel rectangular hollow section, 25 x 25 x 1.6mm with the main longitudinal top and bottom rails being 38 x 25 x 1.6 mm RHS the driveshaft hoop which is part of the centre tunnel is 25 x 25 x 3mm RHS.
The chassis is constructed in a jig and is completely MIG welded with all the laser cut brackets in place before removing it from the jig thus ensuring accuracy. All engine and gearbox mounts are fitted as is all the suspension mounts, steering brackets and seat belt mounts.
The chassis is wider, longer and taller than the usual seven chassis, a big plus is the width of the footwell measuring 350mm across at the pedals.
The Aluminium Panels are laser cut for accuracy thus ensuring a good fit, also the pack includes rivets and bonding adhesive.
The front suspension has Upper and Bottom Wishbones manufactured by Almac These are type approved by the LVVTA , the stub axles, hubs and brakes are taken unmodified from the MX5.
The Rear Suspension and differential is MX5. We use the complete rear end complete with frame and bolt it directly to the chassis frame. Nothing could be easier.
The Steering rack and column is from the MX5. The rack is used as a manual, the column is fitted complete with wiper, indicator and lighting stalks.
The Pedal Box is custom made by Almac for the Clubsprint. It uses the MX5 master cylinder and the accelerator pedal.
The Fuel Tank is custom made by Almac, constructed from aluminium it holds 34 litres. It is designed to use the fuel pump and sender unit from the MX5 which is a good saving in overall build.
The Radiator is from the Honda Civic, it is alloy and 45mm thick. We make our own header tank.
The Body Panels are fiberglass, they are supplied in a gloss gel finish in a range of colours, so that you can a have a combination of different colours for different panels.
Our standard range of colours are red, black, white, blue and green although other colours can be supplied.
The top quality finish means there is no painting required. If a paint finish is preferred we can supply panels in a grey gelcoat.
The Windscreen Wiper system is manufactured by Almac and uses Mazda components and the MX5 wiper motor. This gives a two speed wipe, an intermittent wipe and self park.
The Wiring Loom complete with computer is taken from the MX5, this means a good saving in cost and simplifies the build.
The Lights comprise of 53/4 or 7 inch headlights with a choice of front indicators on stalks or in a traditional holder underneath the headlights. The rear lights are either traditional rectangular or round lights.
The Trim pack has carpets and panels plus handbrake and gearbox covers. We make our own seats which are trimmed in vinyl. The drivers seat is fitted with an adjustable runner.
To keep the wet weather out we have a Hood & Side Windows, they are both removable if they are not required. The hood is fitted to the car and can be erected by pulling it up and fitting it to the top of the windscreen where it is held in position with two over-centre clips. Across the top of the hood are two zips, these can be unzipped for easy access to the car. The side window frames are fiberglass with a leather grain finish these hold the polycarbonate windows.
