Re: building a lowrider
I had a 77 civic hatch when I was 18, I'm 33 now. Had a shaved flywheel, 2 spd auto to 5spd conversion, header, exhaust, no coil springs and cut bump stops :1 That thing was the lowest car I have ever seen, pure gangster

Re: building a lowrider
I had a '79 hatch. Had 11:1 goldwing pistons, 4 delorto (sp?) side draft carbs, BIG cams, shaved flywheel, header and full exhaust, white line sway bars, koni inserts, and cut springs. Was just like riding a bike, no power till about 5500rpm, but at that point hold on right through 11000rpm or so. It's demise was at about 10K rpm a rod let go and smashed through the block. For years and years I had that now two piece rod hanging in my room, I think it is in a box some where now.
On the low rider front I had a Nissan ext cab, on those stock steel polished wheels, dropped down with homemade drop blocks, and some other ghetto ----, had the fake fabric soft top look, and 4 15" cerwin vega strokers. That ---- was loud and ghetto. ---- I'm glad that was a quick phase.

Re: building a lowrider
Back in high school I built a 76 monte carlo lowrider. 13" 120 spoke wires, white walls, shaved door handles, dual frenched antennae, maroon with a shitload of metal flake paint, swivel bucket seats in the front, 2 pumps 2 switches, one for front one for back....that ****** could lay oil pan. 
After I finish my civic I'm going to go back to a lowriderish project.....s-10 mini truck.

I also had a slamed mazda b2200 with a built motor and a 2.2 ford probe turbo and mani.
My datsun 510 had two side drafts and a huge cam, made power at about 5500, redlined at 10,500 (valve float rev limiter) I didn't build that one it was a full race car I bought and put signal lights in, all it had was brake and signals, no charging system or anything else, lol. I rolled that bastard on road race slicks.
I miss my 383 v8 porsche 911 and my 54 vw bug ragtop the most.

Re: building a lowrider
---- yeah, I always wanted to do that to my 89 box chevy when I was in high school. Till the business it was titled to went under and it got auctioned off.
My old man always busted my ***** said there must be some mexican in the blood line somewhere cause he only saw lowriders when he was in tx with beaners driving.
