Same. I wonder if its made using a lost-wax casting process. I see they have ports in the head to have access to that manifold and the internal runners. 

I'd have to look closer, but I bet it's 2 or more separate molded parts that are then sonic/heat/solvent welded together around the AWIC core.

The exhaust manifold set-up is crazy though.

Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding.  I suppose that is possible, but there doesn't seem to be anything magical there that couldn't be done with conventional sand casting.

I'm fine with this.

I understand why people hate it (looks like every Mercury Sable or or Buick Park Avenue that you you've ever seen), but I think it looks good on e30s. Maybe less so on an e36s...

Bronzit + dove interior + turbo = maximum sleeper status

Maybe I'm late to the party, but it turns out I've been eating tacos wrong my whole life. I read about this technique in the Diana Kennedy book I'm going through, but couldn't quite visualize it based on the description. Did a quick search and found this demonstration (starts at 2:21, but I found the whole video entertaining):

For my own peace of mind, can someone please tell me... This looks like a terrible idea right?  Like, it just seems unnecessary.  Am I missing something here?

There are much easier ways to exit this planet. 

These jacks from Costco look great though

Honestly I thought any lift that doesn't actually lift a car high enough to get under it is pointless.

That is until I saw my friends work. They detail cars and use these "Costco" jacks and he swears by them. They do PDR, vinyl wraps, and full detail and ceramic coatings.
