Cooling for the timing belt? How strange. You think they would've made it work with a chain then if temperature was such an issue.

I'm accustomed to early American cars, very straightforward. Later Japanese and European cars, not so much.

that piece is useless since the plastic behind the timing belt cover is missing a hole to allow the air to enter.

Rumor I heard was that on 5th gen WRC cars the timing belt components kept overheating and breaking during racing. So on the 6thgen they designed the air duct to cool the timing belt but it ended up being unnecessary on the 3rdgen 3sgte.
