Low Mile 2002 Camaro Z28

Well the ignition wont be fixed until hopefully Tuesday. I am going to grab a silver SS spoiler on Monday. Id take the SS hood, but its been drilled for hood pins and I am not really wanting to alter the car that much being such a low number car.

Update, the car is still not fixed. The computer system was down at his supplier last night. So the goal is 3-4 pm today. Hopefully its fixed. We are due for some severe storms on Friday and Saturday. I need to get it moved so that I can get the wife Jeep in. I got the silver SS spoiler and its pretty rough. Ive been wet sanding it and getting all of the trash out of it. If it doesn't turn out like I want it, I will just strip it and shoot it myself. The C7 wheels that were on it I hope sell this weekend at the swap meet. I had a buddies dad come and take them out there for me yesterday.

So I will be fixing the VATS with a bypass.I ordered it from eBay and should be here by Monday. Pretty pissed off with the lock smith, but the bright side is that allowed me to free up some extra cash. So on Sunday I am going to get a already painted SS hood. Its aftermarket, so I will have to run pins, but its probably better anyways. I had a aftermarket sport hood on the ram and although I made the factory latch work, the shaking it did always scared people lol.

Well the VATS bypass came late last night. I was eager to get it moved before the storms rolled in this morning, so I hooked it up. Replaced the battery cable and hit the key. Nothing has changed. So after spending a hour testing to make sure I am getting fire, I have decided that I am going to have the neighborhood mobile mechanic come and take a look at it. It is something with that ignition. Either the bypass did not register with my system, the ignition itself is toast, or the ignition module is bad. I really dont like messing with wiring and airbags. I can do, but I want to know someone that is trained to fix thing like this working on it. I did finally get the SS spoiler on yesterday and I am going to pick up the SS hood today. I ordered the hood pin and they should be here tomorrow. I also ordered SS emblems and a SLP grill. Here are the before and after pictures of the spoiler. Ive still got to order new center cap decals now lol. I had put the Z28 ones on and well its now a SS clone.

Small updates here. Starter is going in later today. Hoping that is the cause of the problem. I bought a heat wrap that is supposed to be here today. We all know how long tubes and starters do not get along. I got the hood installed on Sunday. I paint corrected what needed to be done on that and the spoiler and then I ceramic coated it with Koch Chemie C0.02.

Well she runs again... It wasn't the starter, its still the VATS crap. We ended up doing some gone in 60 seconds stuff to get it running. Next week I am just going to build a toggle/kill switch to make the fix permanent. When I jumped it and it started hard it either screwed up the BCM which is several hundred bucks or it is something in the ignition/VATS system. I am tired of throwing money at this problem so I am just deleting it all together. GM and there amazing ideas.
