WTF is that scoop/vent on the roof? the only thing i have ever seen like it are the cold air scoops you sometimes see on mr2's.

Yea, my old 4th gen had twin roof scoops on it. Totally non functional, but they were on there when I bought it (I did buy it from Essex!!) and I kinda liked them, so they stayed.

roof vents are a functional way of getting cool air into a boiling hot rally car on a stage when your window is only allowed to be wound down about 2 inches or you have a slider kit. hot places rally cars.

hmmm might be useful then as ive done away with my aircon :) and i could give my BB4 a rally car look....thinking to hell with the dents and forking out money for a partial respray - just slam on an airscoop on the roof and plaster the bodywork with stickers - job done 8-)
