FF Squad Interview - The Real OGS

SS: Where do you guys see the scene going from this point forward?

Katman: It's kinda weird right now. It does seem like a lot of people are getting into road racing more. Then some are just... Steve: Tucking their engine bays. FF Squad: (laughter) Katman: You're either at the car show or you actually race your car.

SS: Have you guys noticed that even show cars now are "race-inspired?" You clearly don't have the neon undercarriage lights and tinted windows.

Dylan: Now you just have four levels of front canards! Katman: There's a little overkill on all that. Lee: But it is better than how shit was for sure. Some of it is stuff that I don't mind looking at. Trust me I save all those pictures. There is some badass stuff out there.

SS: How do you guys feel about that stuff like wire tucks and different colored engine bays and GT wings on everything and shit like that?

Lee: The engine bay thing's a little weird Dylan: Does that bother you? The different colored engine bays? That doesn't bother me at all. Lee: I think it started from like cars that have been stitch-welded and stuff. Dylan: And the harness tuck, that doesn't bother me. I think those Rywire mil/spec harnesses, those are nice man. It's nice work at least. Going in and filling all the holes in your engine bay is a little silly to me though. Katman: The original wire tuck was running carbs. Dylan: Yup folding all the extra wires up under the carbs and zip-tying them.

SS: How much longer do you see yourselves driving FWD Hondas and will this be your last?

Katman: I'll keep my EG as long as possible. Dylan: I've owned 27 FWD Hondas. (laughs) I'll probably own another 20 in the next 10 years. Katman: But you're buying an FR next week! Dylan: I mean, I love 'em. There's so many of them out there. Lee: As long as I'm going to the track I'll have my car. I wouldn't want to try and start over again. Maybe in the future my car will be a dedicated track car. Right now it's just clean and streetable. Katman: Unless someone comes along that wants to give you like fifty grand for your car, that's cool. Then you could start over on something ridiculous. Steve: It's a lot of work building a car too. Lee: We're getting too old to work on cars. We need a lift. Dylan: Steve's car we just built in the last year from two different shells. Lee: In his freakin' garage dude. Dylan: (laughs) Yeah his garage. No power tools. Steve: But that car went by pretty quick, it was simple.

SS: We appreciate you guys taking the time to sit down and talk and we also look forward to featuring more of your cars in the future!
