    That would be cool but sadly it's too late, all the paint has been stripped and now it's been primed.

    I hadn't checked the passenger harness recently but it looks like it must have been there right from new. Obviously well passed it's sell by date but it hasn't had to restrain any passengers recently!

    So awesome to see some love for these cars....kudos!

    I've driven mine over 55000 miles, a couple of 700-1000 mile trips in one drive. Mostly to national meets with track events at Indy, MoSport, Watkins Glen, VIR, Sebring, Road Atlanta, Summit Point, Daytona, CMP, Roebling Road, Hutchinson Island, Road America, might be a few I'm leaving out. Lots and lots of Blue Ridge mountain drive. Lots and lots and lots of memories and...loss of hearing. Still running the pipe picture- taken in period.

    That's funny! My '94 348 tb "Factory Challenge" car has been a race car since new, but since no one ever uses the passenger-side harness it's still the original OMP item (obviously the driver-side harness has been freshened)- I'll have to take a look at the date.

    Your car must sound fantastic! I had a Borla race exhaust on my car but it tended to exceed permitted noise levels at most UK tracks so I ended up having to change it, which was a shame.

    Great that you you use the car so much.

    It use to be louder. Seems to make a ringing or hissing sound but I hear it all the time now.
