Rear Air Vents

Ideally i think the MR2 side vents would benefit from instead of a rear airflow ear trap, what we need is an air entrance wrap over similar to the AUDI R8 this would be practical and look right.

[Mk2] [Turbo] brake servo

I park my 2 on a sloping drive sometimes and have noticed that after applying the foot brake once and rolling down the slope again the braking is minimal. I believe a servo reservior should store enough air for two or three foot pedal pumps with no problem with the engine turned off, this depends on...

[Mk2] [Turbo] bonnet condensation
