hey mang, What did you do w/ the BCM? how did u mount it, also there are some grey boxes on that end too what are they and can they go by by?
You can see them on the right side of the photo


thanks
sean

 

I just plan on using zip ties to keep them out of the way. I cut a lot of the extra wiring out so I'm going to have to figure out a way to mount it with half of the stuff gone.

 

Yeah, I just tied everything back with zip ties. The wiring is going to wait for a day when I feel really motivated to trace everything lol

 

Yeah I used the same bracket holders that were on the harness. But im talking about the actual BCM BOX itself, Did you just ziptie it to the crossbar under the glovebox? Also what are the two relays for?

thanks mang
sean

 

I just put the box back in its place and bolted it down. The relays I didnt look up what they are for yet.

 

how much lighter are the weld rims than the stockers..

 

how much those door bars weigh in at????

 

You can velcro the actual BCM box to the back of the glove compartment. That way it won't rattle. The door bars weigh in around 9 lbs a piece if my memory serves me correctly.

 

getting lighter and lighter

I may look into the door bars here soon on my car as well.

 

my door bars weighed just under 11lbs.

 

man thats a lot of weight gone so far

 

Just be careful Larry, I rushed my drivers side and ended up forcing the bar away from the bracket and it caused the paint to crack a little bit. And it was on the door I just had painted. Not too noticable, but I know its there. Just hate to see your beautiful paint job damaged. I did find out its alot easier if you actually twist the bars while you are taking them out of their bracket "holders"


Yeah, Im guessing I'm around 250 pounds lighter right now, and this is all the stuff I can unbolt or just pull out. Im almost done with getting rid of the "useless" stuff. Doing all the free stuff right now since Im paying off alot on credit cards, but should be interesting once I'm able to get an aftermarket k member and other lightweight parts.

 

yea,, if you get dumps and get rid of the cat back theres 50 lbs... weld rims... 35-40.. theres almost 100 more right there. iu call my cousin and he said that he would weld your cage in for you..

 

Sweet, what do i need to get other than the cage obviously? You guys are more than welcome to come crash up here for a weekend or whatever when u do this? Ill provide the beer?

 

Ok, decided to go with a new stock windshield over an aftermarket piece. One of my friends called me and said one of his buddys could come out to my place and installed a brand new windshield in the car for just $150, so vs trying to find a decent windshield and install it myself, told him to tell his friend to come on over. He came over and had the windshield in place in about a half hour. My camera's batterys were dead at the time, I really wanted to snap pics since it was pretty interesting to see it done, incase anyone was to try and do this themselves. But I did snap a pic of the final result...

There is this tape they put on the window I'm guessing to hold the window down tight till the glue sets. The guy told me to keep it on for 48 hours. BTW, you can see my neighbors LT1 Z/28 Convertable in the background.


And here it is with the tape pulled off...looks like before with 150 bucks missing from my pocket.


I picked up a set of longtube Hooker Headers that I will be doing a picture write up for sanding/repainting the rusted headers and a write up for the shorty to lt header switch in the next few days. The headers I got where severely surface rusted and needed to be sanded back down and repainted black. I will be removing the shorty headers that were on the car at the time I purchased it along with the off road y-pipe and tossing them in favor of the long tubes and true dual exhaust. Leaning towards the dynomax bullets for mufflers with turn downs. This project should keep me busy the next couple weeks.

 

lookin better everyday...

where the wheels come from and the seats, they look different from ur old summit seats, I didnt see them before

 

yea i was lookin for pics of them too

 

car looks good. how much do you drive the car with those seats? ive bee thinkin bout kirkey seats for mine but i drive it everyday. (i read that there summit not kirkey)

 

Thanks!!

The wheels in the sig pic where just photoshopped on there. I still need to find a set of prostars or draglights.

The seats are the same ones I have had since like a month after I bought the car.

Right now, I havent driven the car since probably last May, other than around the block every now and then to run the engine but I used the Camaro as a daily driver for a couple months until I bought my Trans Am and did an hour and a half commute each way with the Summit seats. They arent that bad really, the seats have the "leather" covers over them so the seats have a little padding to them.

 

I had a Saturday off work today and ended up getting around to starting the shorty headers to longtube header swap. Carri (z28camarocarri on here) gave me a set of used Hooker Long Tubes (Thanks a ton!! ) and I plan on intalling them and running true dual exhaust with bullet mufflers.

For today, my goal was just to remove the shorty headers that came on the car when I bought them. Took a couple pictures along the way. Wasnt that difficult to do, Im guessing the hard part is to come when I intall the LTs.

Drivers Side Before...


Passenger Side...


First thing I did was removed the Y-pipe and got that out of the way...


Started removing the header bolts along with the spark plugs and wires...


Then disconnect the O2 sensor and wiggled the header free for them engine bay...


Did the same thing on the passenger side, but had to also removed the EGR tube, the dipstick, and starter...


E3 spark plugs, look a little dirty...what can I use to clean these up? The E3s are pretty new...


The old headers are out!! Also pulled the EGR tube out along with some plastic tube that was on the frame, not sure what it was, but it was unplugged...


Hehe...My Camaro is pulling a wheelie...hope I can do this for real once everything is done.
