So a very close friend in the Marines was just stationed in Bangor. He drives a 02' Red GTI 1.8T. He is looking for some good VW tuner shops up there. He wants to get his LSD asap. He is also looking for a local Euro Club or group. I believe he will be stationed there for 2 years. If you guys have any info on anything, or anything that would make him more welcome to the area please let me know. Thanks again for the help guys.

Let him know there are a lot of guys willing to help in and around PNWComment

Any general Euro clubs? Like in Chicago land we have Euroteknik, all types of Euros, weekly meets and that. That is the type of thing he is looking for.Originally posted by NavyE30Comment

Not really any noteable Euro clubs that I can think of... many very small ones but he can find them posting in the PNW forum on Vortex. Lots of regular weekly gatherings are posted there as well.Chris

yeah it's kinda odd that way, Bimmerforums/DTMpower has a large BMW group that has regular gatherings, VW gatherings are everywhere, but no large clubs/groups that are all euro.
If he's wanting to drive a little to Tacoma, He can come hang out with us. Small group of euros that meets regularly on wednesday nights. www.epitomewerks.com
There is also a group in the Kitsap area near his station www.northwestmassive.com I think they meet wednesday night as well, mostly VWs.Chris
