Compared to a kt100s powered Clubman, Hire karts weigh twice as much, have half the power and 2/3rds the grip. Go figure! 
Half the reason I said forget the J motor, is I've NEVER seen an adult class run for it. Maybe bigger clubs run a "cheapskate" class, but I've never seen anyone older than 16 in one. I don't think you're allowed to run anything quicker than a clubman on your P-plates, so that automatically puts Rotax and Leopards out of reach for the first year anyway!
Anywhere I've raced at, Clubmans are within 1sec/lap of the more powerful leopards and rotax's. This is coz they don't have to lug a battery, starter motor, water, radiator etc around, as well as having tyres near-on as grippy.
That is all
