IRRC it's blocked off to let the air circulate better inside the engine, so it only goes in and out of where it's designed to ensure best cooling. Kind of like PCs that overheat if you leave the side cover off.
erm..... so why's it there?

S1 is connected to the bay and does flow cooling air to keep bay temps down.

One might ask what's the point of a door if it's closed?

So it's there so it can be blanked off incase it draws air in and disturbs the air balance...
So it is purley cosmetic then

Put on hold for this winter (as well as trackdays, gym, drinking, sex, etc).
Need to finish the garage first (and with the amount of work I have, it's going slow).

Mind you, it would probably make the ultimate inatke setup, but it will be expensive, you know, time, and effort. Maybe it would be better doing something for the S2 (so I can sell it), but the intake is so tiny!
