My father bought the whole frame and body parts from the car i was asking about how to remove rocker panels a few months ago. The guy he bought it from used the parts to build a factory 5 gtm supercar, control arms, steering column, engine and pcm as well as door regulators and some of the harness. He cut the pcm harness but left the stock bcm. So to use the bcm the steering column would have to have the correct key chip for the car to start. This ones a clean title 02. It came with the front foglights/plastic bezels, instrument cluster, fuel door, 2 stock intakes and air bridge but the fuel tanks were used on the gtm supercar i think or maybe he had sold them.

I found the control arms are 150$ each so about 600$ to just get wheels on the car. Came with both front and back cradles would just need the ebay control arm set-ups. The guy used the window regulators for the gtm supercar. No front fenders or bumper.

I did purchase the 02 torque tube with flexplate/hubclamp for 100$ and rear diff 2.73s, trans, stock converter, airbag, heatshield for my 99 as spare parts.

Would it be better to find a wrecked roller for 2-3k with steering column control arms and use that bcm and other wiring harness or outsource from corvette salvage yards.
Heres what we're looking at. I decided my 99 rebuilt title is the same paint color. All this stuff is in good condition. Included the good 02 ac head unit, Heads up display and stereo. My 99 wont play cds i think the belt broke i may try to install the 02 stereo in my 99 when i get to it if not an aftermarket single din stereo. Included 02 ebcm and bracket so most of the brake lines are there.

 

Hi Justin. I just quickly scanned over your post, so I don't know if this helps you, or not. But, the VIN that's programmed to the PCM can be changed to match an existing BCM, and vice versa. Hope this helps you.......

 

So a different BCM and PCM and steering column (correct key ohms) can all be reprogrammed to one?

Is there anyway for a moderator to come up with an original thread delete option?

 

Ya, you can program any key resistance you want in about 30 minutes, or match the PCM to BCM in that same time. That's not a concern at all.

 

Hope ur not planning to use it this summer. Oh my.
Not undermining ur talent and skills but that's a feat.

 

Are you saying you can program the new or salvage yard steering column to the BCM and salvage yard PCM. May i ask how thru hp tuners with just key in on position and somewhere thru the vats table?

Not this one is my dads project he was saying to swap all mine as its a rebuilt title so id have a clean title but theres enough parts there except front bumper, fenders to build a seperate vehicle.

Its got everything but front fenders, hood, bumper and low miles 70-80k clean title. You can always find another wrecked one for 2-3k that may have the control arms, steering column, front end parts as well as door regulators.

 

You know i have no problem pulling a car apart i had completely stripped a 2000 v6 camaro 2 years ago down to the frame before scraping it.
The problem is placing alot of the dash wiring in place but most of its there with instrument cluster. The guy he bought it from had removed the dash that dad to sell me the airbag for 70$ for my 99 as mine was wrecked in 2010. I had bought the airbag, heatshield, sunvisors, and some performance choice shale floormats for 110$ from the guy and 30$ for all 3 service manuals for a 99 corvette as well as a good 02 torque tube for 100$ as mine had got tore up last summer the bearings are held in with c clips and easier to change in the rear carrier so i didnt get to replace my 99 rear torque tube carrier bearings last summer as the bushing is in the way of the bolt the seperates the rear carrier splined assembly. Tried a slide hammer. The guy was interested in selling me the right side rocker panel if i only knew how to get it off. I decided im probably just going to repair the front parts of the rocker panels but yes they do feel brittle in time depends how the car was stored in a garage or heat.

Its simply just a project car but i dont see why couldnt get it running i sold my father my fresh 347 shortblock with compstar rods and wiseco pistons i was going to use in 2013-2014 for my 98 turbo z28 that had blew the stock motor at the track boosting in fourth with 9lbs. He also has his original 04 gto motor that had spun a crank bearing where he replaced it with a seperate motor so theres a spare one just needs the crank turned complete to valve covers but would need a batwing oil pan. Hes 58 im 32 years old. He had bought an 04 gto with a spun crank bearing for fairly cheap 2-3 years ago and swapped a different ls1 motor with cam,stahl, headers. GTO auto i think have a 3.46 gear or something not 2.73s or 3.15s as the auto c5s do.

The guy he got it from and i got the torque tube used the car for the factory gtm 5 supercar if youre familiar with them alot of parts get used the engine, control arms, steering column, pcm and door regulators.

GTM Supercar - Factory Five Racing

Heres whats left.

The GTM Supercar kit is engineered to be built by a person at home with regular tools. The GTM kit gives you everything you need to build your car, except for running gear parts taken from a 1997-2004 Chevrolet C5 Corvette and a transaxle. The major Corvette parts include the engine, front and rear control arms, suspension/brakes, and fuel tanks. The transaxle used is a Porsche 911 unit or a Mendeola 5 speed.

 

Yes, look up VATS relearn, just need a battery charger and turn the key on and off for 3 cycles leaving it on about 11 minutes each time, 30 minutes total.

 

So with whatever steering column, salvage yard pcm and the original 02 bcm, air bag sdm can all be relearned by that?

Great thanks for your help not sure just waiting on another 2k c5 roller to pop up on the marketplace.

There was a c5 6 speed that had no engine but pedals and most parts for 2k$ the guy said hed throw in a c5 T56 with the 3.42 diff for 2350$ but it had sold. Was thinking of trying to get it for the 6 speed, 3.42 diff to possibly convert my 99 if not just use the 3.42 diff. Im looking into 3.73s, 3.90s but TDP wants 900$ labor includes the gears and seals but is a bit aways from a different city here in texas so shipping would be expensive. They also want 400$ labor plus parts to repair a t56 that pops out of gear or 900$ for the bronze pads plus whatever parts if theres a worn or needs replaced input shaft is a couple hundred.

 

God damn, i wouldn't know where to start. Just look at for a while and then it will become a paperweight. Good luck.

 

There is so little about air bag module swapping I couldn't find an answer. But, it seems that as long as the PCM has a VIN in it you can do it. The only thread about this with a solution indicated the tuner changed the blank vin to match the car and then the used module started working.
