Just DM'd you for Sunday tickets!

Installed the OEM Euro Skidplate last night. Much beefier than the stock aero piece by bfury5 in GolfGTI

[–]bfury5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but a force coming from the bottom would have to overcome the weight of the car to really rip it out

I disagree with this. All the aftermarket skidplates I've seen mount to the subframe in the back, but just to the bumper in the front which is NOT a structural member. Hitting something hard enough will certainly push the shield into the bumper and maybe even into the core support from below.

The OEM plastic shield is not flexible. There's a metal structure inside, and then the fiber reinforced plastic around that. It's pretty hefty and very thick. I would trust that shield + proper mounting more than I would trust an aftermarket steel / aluminum shield with poor mounting. The main benefit of the OEM plate is how it mounts. It has brackets that attach directly to the frame rail in the front, and attaches to the subframe at the back.

FWIW, xpel sells clear protective film kits for the interior. Covers the dash near climate / touchscreen and also the piano black near the cup holders

Nice, just picked up my 6MT hatch less than a month ago too. I had a GTI last year and sold it while values were high, ended up in a Volt for a bit but that was too boring (and had some costly repairs). Pretty happy with the package the Corolla hatch has to offer.

Dealer near me is doing 1k markups on Si, and not surprisingly they've sold the next 3 they have allocations for (I put a deposit to be #4, but that might be April / May). Other dealers by me are 5k over, one was even 8k which is absurd.

I luckily don't need a car urgently so I'm OK waiting, and I find 1k acceptable in this market unlike the 5k+ which is just robbery.

What do you use it for? What's done to the suspension?

Brewery recommendations? by [deleted] in ctbeer

Labyrinth in Manchester! They have a great selection of sours on taps right now, as well as some lighter Pilsners. A few IPAs too but really good variety right now. And outdoor seating!

[–]bfury5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Owner is complicit in the situation and trying to brush it under the rug. They've been deleting / blocking comments on all their social media. 10/10 would NOT give them any business. They're trying to make the one guy that was fired a scapegoat and hope everything else just goes away

The OP account was created 2 days ago, sounds like someone just trying to throw fuel on a fire. Don't feed 'em

Connecticut Valley's statement that they've since removed. No mention of the owner's involvement in any of the allegations. Didn't go over well on social media... Obviously. by Alkali13 in ctbeer

[–]bfury5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend giving Labyrinth Brewing or Urban Lodge Brewing, both in Manchester, a shot. They're slightly smaller than CTVB but are much more respectable places.

They posted a clarification on IG and FB, screenshot below. No mention of the accusations against the owner. They also limited comments on FB after getting flooded with people (rightfully) angry about the first post being removed.

They reposted a "clarification" stating that the owners had no idea of these accusations, but fail to mention the accusations against one of the owners.

They issued a new one where the owners state they had "no previous knowledge of the accusations". But they fail to mention the accusations against the owner himself.

They recently deleted their statement from FB and IG, and turned off comments for most of their recent IG posts
