Random Beretta Facts

Post by heavywoody »

There is "LOL" somewhere on a part for this car.

Who else has random facts that others might not know about?

Bugs REALLY can get into the car very easily with the way the slipstream goes through open windows. I have not once, but 3 different times had to pull over to let the bumblebee out of the crotch area of my seat. And with me being slightly allergic, not to mention bees being one thing I fear quite a bit, it makes for an interesting swerve and stop maneuver.

The A-pillars have a notch in them behind the weatherstripping that fit a coat hanger quite nicely! :ROFL:

The pre 91 ip is designed to look like the rear tail light assembly & the digi cluster favors that design more.

Did you guys also know you do not need a special tool for the outer dew strips? If you remove your inner one, there are half holes cut in the door frame for a screw driver to go straight thru.

Replace your circuit breaker. Its a shared item and overheats.

GM sometimes forgot to bolt the heater core cover in place during assembly... At least mine didn't have any screws or old threads present when I changed my core.

Outside of what? 3.1 MPFI vs a 3100 SFI.... 3SP vs 4SP, I know some of the V6 came with Manual, something they did away with in 94...

I know the quad HO years are pretty close to having the same equipment.

FE3 vs FE7?

Logos... Wheels? lol

Anything else?
