When the new Camaro first hit the showrooms in late 1981, enthusiasts were floored. ![]() Add to that General Motors and their struggle with quality control during this time and you can see how dim prospects were that a worthy Camaro would emerge from the chaos. Government regulations were getting more stringent every year, bean counters and marketing gurus were pushing for lower costs everywhere possible to maximize profits, Ford had debuted a very good third-generation Mustang that was not based on the Pinto, and Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards were pushing anything that wasn’t a truck to front wheel drive platforms. The automotive landscape had changed quite a bit since then. First off, the second-generation car would have been in production for more than a decade when its successor was scheduled to come out. When General Motors finally got around to designing and building the third generation of the Camaro and Firebird a lot of factors came into play. Is that too much too soon, or a sign that these staples of eighties mall parking lots are ready for their time in the limelight? ![]() Well-kept and in running condition, this silver beauty is pushing the outer limits of third-generation Camaro values with an asking price of 17,900. For sale on Craigslist is this 1982 Chevrolet Camaro Z-28 in Bergen County, New Jersey. Was it a bust or a future classic? Thanks to reader PRA4SNW, we have an excellent example to examine. ![]() In the early eighties, a replacement was on the way for this beloved platform. Ever since 1967, Chevrolet has battled with fans over what the Camaro should be, or even if it is to be at all. Therefore, this is the main reason your end user manual specifically states that whenever performing a firmware update, to make certain to always back up all your tuning flies to either an external hard drive or computer prior to updating the programming device's firmware.Camaro is a name that looms large among American muscle car lovers. The reason your custom tune files were deleted? was you did a firmware update which updates not only your tuner's software, but also the device itself. they said he must have got tunes for those 2 mods from someone else cause they didn't have them on file the ones I wrote in is the ones bama didn't have on my old tune that's why I had to buy the tunes for life so I could add those 2 mods. but I will check out the other one you was taking about my car don't have alot of mods but I plan on doing more in the future. and now when I do some more mods I'll get free tunes. the guy told me my tuner might have malfunctioned. Yeah the tuner works fine I think and my tunes worked great on my car I just don't understand why it deleted my old tunes when I did a firmware update. cause it seems like everything on my 06 gt that I add needs a tune lol so all this tuning and stuff like that is new to me. ![]() my other mustang is a v6 and I never had to add any tunes to it. The tunes for life was 160 bucks and the only reason I called them was becaus that's where the tunes I had come from and I was seeing if they could send me my same tunes back but the ones they had for my car didn't have the jlt cold air or the headers on the tune they said the guy I bought the car from must have got the cold air and headers tuned by someone else so the tunes they had for my car would not work because they didn't have the cai on them and they said the only way to get my car running would be to get the tunes for life and add the jlt cold air intake and headers so I gave them a list of my mods and they wrote me a new tune and from now on if I do anymore mods I'll get my tunes revised for free.I didn't really know who to go with on the tunes I'm kinda new to all this stuff. I don't know how much you paid for the Bama "tunes for life" but next time you want a tune update, I would consider spending the $100-150 to get it from Lito instead of Bama. Plus he really knows what he is doing with tuning these cars, with Bama I think this is highly variable depending on who actually writes your tune. He does the same thing that Bama does, only way better because he uses datalogs to check and fine-tune the tune. Depending on how old the tuner is, it might need a firmware update, which will allow it to store something like 10 tunes, instead of the original 3 (plus the factory tune).Īlso too late now, I thought I had mentioned Lito in one of your threads, but maybe not. if you haven't already done that, I'd do it soon so it doesn't slip my mind. Unfortunately it is too late now but yeah the tune files can be backed up to your PC. I have loaded the factory tune back to my car many times, using my SCT X3 that I got from Bama many years ago, and it never did that. That is very strange, I have never heard of a tuner doing that before.
