Wouldn't that be nice ! But no, more appropriately, ventilation. Has anyone
attempted to provide, (as Chevy used to call it), 'flow thru ventilation' ?
Even with the top down, it gets hot inside the cockpit. That little motor
does generate some btu's !!

Ken;

One of the guys in our local club ran some flexible plastic tube about 3"
in diameter from the front grill area along the frame rails to the body.  He
then cut holes in the firewall and attached the tubes to the firewall, found
some vent covers (I think something from a TR6) and poof - ventilation!  He
claims the improvement is huge, but I've never ridden in the car, so I'm
taking his word for it.  Might be worth a try.
