Now ive got rid of my series one daily runner for a BMW diesel.. i thought with the cash i'll be saving on fuel, im going to treat myself to a 99 Spec Type R as a fine weather /weekend car

 

I love the looks of the 99 spec and the interior, so the only thing i will be changing is wheels and exhaust, with maybe a few mild mods, boost controller etc.. the one thing i dont like is the new heater controls, does anyone know if the series 2 controls fit the 99 spec?

 

and last but not least

 

Who is a good reliable importer in the UK? ive heard so many horror stories when it comes to importers

 

Cheers

Jurgen @ jm imports will find you anything anywhere, he is a top bloke and if you want one thats got pick wheel nuts he will find it lol!!!!!

 

Yeah the controls can be swaped over but its quite a bit of messing around. Lee has done it to his S4 :)

Cheers bud .. i dont mind the messing about as i loved the S2 controls and i have a spare set here ;)

You dont know what your getting yourselve into !!

 

Its not just a matter of changing the pods and ecu; you have to change he full front end loom and some other bits.

 

Heres a full rightup on the process that i did for the FAQ section :

if you know how to strip your zed down to this then you have a fair chance of doing the conversion to digital !!

That's the easy part! It's remembering where everything goes when you put it back that's a bugger :lol:

True !!:no:

 

Although ive stripped down two zeds to this state and my black one twice and most screws and bits are self explanatory.

 

And with a bit of common sense you cant really go wrong.:blink:

oh ive taken the front out of a zed many many times .. im on my 4th zed in 14 years now lol

and wiring looms are my speciality .. i make looms and control systems for larger boats in my spare time

All you need is a good donor loom along with the aircon bits shown in my FAQ post.

 

Good luck !

Lee hasn't been the same lad since he did this mod, the medication he his now on is endless :crying:

cool.. nice write up Lee .. ive got most of the parts .. i wish id taken the loom out before i scrapped the shell .. oh well lol

There is also a chap on here going by the user name of Sudesh. He's based over in Northern Ireland, but he has occasionally sold a nice 99-spec car....

Yes Sudesh is one of the best and if you want somebody who will get you a good deal and you can trust I would personally recommend him.
