www.ecstuning.com - though their shipping can be a bit pricey.

Can someone recommend a good mechanic in the Raleigh/Cary area for an older VW, like a 1995 Golf ?

Damn, that was funny.....

As for a place to take the car, we have a former member that runs Black Forest over near Cary. I understand then are now a club sponsor. They are a little spendy, but I've heard they do good work.

It's a bit of a drive from Raleigh, but we go to Dias Automotive in Pittsboro. He doesn't have a website and his shop looks like the lot from Sanford and Son, but he does good work and we trust him implicitly. The man actually retired a couple of years back and his customers begged him to come back.
