*That guy...from Bismarck***
-
Hello everyone. My name is Nathanael Cicio from Bismarck. Most people call me Cicio my last name cause they think its cool. It is pornounced Siseo. Or something like that.
Anyway i am very happy to be a part of the forum, I was actually going to build one of these for bismarck, but no time.
So yeah like I said I live in Bismarck, moved here from the big NYC. I own a Snowboard Shop here with my partner. Amos5oh Board Shop. Maybe some of you have heard of it.
Anyway I have always been into cars. My father owns a car dealership in NY, and used to own and Exotic dealership in Tampa, FL (I lived there for 5 years too) I have driven just about every car ever made, and decided that I like turbos...alot..they are cool, and sound good + they make you go fast...fast is good.
So living in ND now I figured the only turbo car to have was a Subaru. So thats what I bought. 2 months ago I bought a 2002 WRX Wagon. I love the thing..it is so much fun, and yet so practical. and its pretty quick. Not fast...YET...but pretty quick.
Man..this is getting long..O well.
I also have a 95 Talon TSI AWD that I am building this winter. its not going to be supper crazy fast, but it will be fun. (300 whp or so) I am going to sell it in the spring so that I can put some extra money in my WRX.
My other passion is motorcycles. I love rockets. I road alot in FL, and now I just can't not have one in my garage. So right now I have two.
I have a 2000 GSXR 750..Yellow that some of you saw at Sabin the last weekend of the drags. Come to think of it my car was there too. Anyway, I also just bought a 2005 GSXR 750..blue and black. Yeah..sucks I can't ride it tell next year, and I just got it. O well we aren't in FL anymore.So thats about it I think. I am just on here to learn, make friends, and have a good time. I love meating knew people and swaping information. Helping eachother out, I think that there isn't enought of that left in the world so I do as much as I can.
Thanks for reading ALL of this if you did...hope to talk to you guys soon.

wow that was fast. Thanks...

for sure I will...I have done quite a bit to it, it would make a nice car for someone to really build.
I put 8 grand in the shortblock. Eagle this Forged that..blanced everything..bla bla...so it will hold the power, but after that I kinda got tired of it. The head just has a pocket port job with new valves/springs...yada yada. Front mount IC. Full Exhaust. Header and all. 16g turbo. Dual Stage TXS boost controler. Injen turbo intake. Stock ported intake. Toyco or however you spell that suspention. Short through shifter. Tripple piller pod with Autometer gauges. Monster tach. Leather sunroof...and on and on it goes...Greddy type S bov...anyway...I had a good time building the car, then when I got it back together the first time I blew it up the first day, so that is why I build a GOD LIKE bottom end. So now I figure that when I get it back together I am either going to sell it or blow the freeking tranny. (Nate) So yeah...I will for sure let you know when it is done. If someone wanted to just put a little more money in it I think it could be really fast. Should make a good car for someone other than me.
So yeah..again...long post..I am just borred this morning

While at motor magic, I stopped by the park and there was a big amos50h trailer there. I know brad stye(spelling) and used to work at DSK8 on 45th in S. Fargo. From what I hear, you guys run a pretty sweet shop/team. Theres always a couple guys milling around the park in Fargo sporting your shirts. Welcome to the boards man. Someone else who has the exact same passions is me; You have recieved 2 eProps!

Ok...I was out for most of the day so I will answer all the questions in one post.
First. the GT2...Those are very hard to find used obviously. The only place they are plentiful used is in Orlando FL. There is a Manheim Auto action there that does all exotics. Its awesome. Maybe if he focused his search down there he could find one. Other than that they are few few few and far between.
Second....what was second again...O yeah...400whp...HA yeah right. mine was crank walking at not even 300whp. Spun the main berrying twice. The second time it did it so bad that it ovaled the crank. Anyway the first gen motors are beefy as hell...they might handle that kind of power, but not the 7 bolts. They are a timebomb just waiting to happen. I went to a 6 bolt on the new motor.
By the way..this is just my experience talking...I am not trying to offend anyone, or make myself out to know everything...all I know is I have blow up two of them within a month of eachother.Third: yeah we were up at Motor Magic that was awesome we had a great time. Watching all the drags and the autox and the car show...almost too much for a guy to take in in one weekend. I am very glad to hear that you have heard good things about my shop. We try hard to run a tight ship. You should give me your address and I will ship you out a new 5-oh shirt.
Forth: I am lost on the whole props thing.
Talk to you all later. Thanks for the welcome.
