When you sit in a sofa chair and have your arm on the arm wrest, do you usually cup your hand like your holding your shift ball or do you put the palm of your hand downward. I put my palm downward, seems much more natural to me. we will see.. its only a shift knob, and can be switched out with very little effort.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
I always have my palm faced downward when I shift....
Anyways, Tom since you're too lazy to figure out your monster displacement with your killer .040 overbore, your engine is 1999.3cc vs. 1997.4cc stock. lol
Stock= 1997.4
.020 over= 1998.4
.040 over = 1999.3
.060 over = 2000.3

Im 90% sure you are wrong there.

I have 86mm pistons therefore i belive my displacement would be 2045cc

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
Scheides, i got tired of waiting and posted up a WTB on the dsmlink forums. Two people replied, one of them with an insane deal. Got a refund from map (No bad juju with MAP, totally not their fault at all.) 4 slightly used mahle pistons for $165 shipped. Cant beat that.

And they are the correct ones. Finally. All of them look in good shape, just a little cleanup on the top sides and we are good to go. !
