i was looking at www.japanparts.com and i was wondering what a roof ventilator was and what the benefits/down sides are to this...any help would be nice!

With the WRC cars I think it feeds air directly into the cockpit (if your talking about the roof scoop!)

Schroth Rallye 4 Harness from SoloRacer.Com Installed!

is that all it does...bring outside air in...it dosnt have any effect on down force or anything...so

Nope, no performance effects. It's just air for the drivers. The race cars (and the Spec C model) don't have A/C.

I've heard two reasons. The first is pretty clear: air for the driver/navigator. The other I heard (don't remember where) is to induce positive pressure in the cabin. A lot of the rally stages have a bunch of dust, and you don't want all that coming into the cabin. So having an air intake way up high keeps a bit of positive pressure in the cabin to keep anything from coming in from anywhere but that intake.

hhhmmm save weight ...take off A/C put on scoop.....and really how much could a stereo have weighed?
