If you don't already know, I'm Antonio Boynes (BLACKCAT) of Driven Concepts. This car is a special project built for a special customer. Thanks to Kyle Stamm for the many hours of Mitsu-Booty madness. Other than owning the car and spending rediculous amounts of money on this toy of his, Kyle was a crucial architect in the finished product. This project began as a completely dismantled, brand new, 2006 pile of bolts and parts scattered about his house. Appearantly Kyle thought it would be fun to take apart his brand new car. Just to see "wut it look like". Being that Kyle is no mechanic and the fact that the car would never be stock again, he couldn't put it back together again. Even if with "all the kings men". That's where the fun began, almost a year ago. Don't want to give to much away but here are the general mods.
-Completely built and stroked block + balance shaft delete kit
-Ported, polished, and built up head. Cosworth cams among other parts.
-Modified stock turbo
-Zeitronix datalogging/wide band system and boost cut unit
-Secondary UEGO wideband
-Column mounted knock light and tach light
-Dash mounted triple gague pod and gagues
-NX direct port nitrous system with bottle warmer, traction control unit, and intercooler
mounted purge system
-Greddy front mount upgrade
-Custom intercooler plumbing
-Driven concepts modified greddy catch can
-HID kit
-Steering wheel and functional horn, nitrous and purge switches
- Sparco Seats, Sparco harness, and harness bar
-Cusco frame, sub frame and tower bars
-JIC majic coil overs
-Rota wheels, spacers and ARP extended wheel studs
-ACT clutch
-Snow performance Meth system with safe injection
-Other mics. bling you can see for yourself in the pics.
-HKS DLI
-Injen intake
-HKS 3" Carbon Tie, Perrin Cat delete, and 3" dowbpipe
-High flow fuel rail and 750cc precision injectors

Yeah Ryun I managed to form some sort of a smile for Tampa. Thank you Mike. It means something to hear you say that. Ian wants me do post a mod list and I'll be adding some more pictures of the car in progress. I'm working on it.

I was completely digging this car until I saw the steering wheel.
I absolutely hate that steering wheel.

Antonio is hot like fire!! I love the way that car looks also. lol With all that attention to detail, he must have had a great mentor!!
in the first few pics, are the rims on the drivers side different from the passenger side? 6 spoke on drive, 5 on the other?

Baker! If I'd known you felt that way, I would have never gotten married. Silly!

All four are five spoke. Hard to see in the pics I guess.

If it makes you feel better I'm not up on the steering wheel either. I do on the other hand understand why he used it.

You've gotta be kidding me. With all the money you put in that car. You better sleep in the garage at night! Trade?!?!?! Funny guy! LOL! Once it's in paint you can sell it and buy an Evo and another Honda to play with. Better yet, give it to you daughter.
dude evos rock. and that evo super rocks. every part of that car is sexy. especially the builder.......... ;)
Yea my baby is looking foward to getting the car when she turns 16. That will be pretty funny her rolling into her high school with a 500+ HP teggy.

Thanks for the kind words guys. It has been a pleasure working with Tizzle and the Driven Concepts crew. These guys are top notch. The Integra they built is awesome also. Everything said about his work is true. If (!) I had listened to him more and from the begining the car would be even sicker! Dyno results to follow!

Hey Kyle. I don't think people understand your lingo yet. You might want to elaborate on what a "stocker" is and they may not know who you're refering to when you say "tizzle". Especially when my name doesn't start with a T. English people!

STOCK...but thats me...im a stocker kind of guy...
it looks alright but it really is what you like. Its kinda grown on me. the only issue is if it looks different from other evo's then it is easy to pick out if you were say out racing somewhere. which might be ok...........or it might not be so ok.
