Holy cow, it's been almost a whole year! Well, don't worry guys, Hot Garbage is still out there, tearing it up!

First things first; updates! The stock ECU pissed me off one too many times, so we're on a Holley Terminator X now. Runs much much better. We also got an intake manifold and 102mm throttle body to go with it. We also added a cutting brake for the front wheels. If you're not familiar, a cutting brake is is like the e-brake the drifting guys use, but it has two separate cylinders that actuate when the lever is either pulled or pushed. Each cylinder goes to one front wheel. So now, we can brake each front wheel individually. It's a lot of fun! We also added side pipes, a full 5" stainless pipe down each side.

We think we're finally getting to a point where we don't really work on the truck at all, just dust it off, put new tires on the rear, and go do massive burnouts. It started out as the most problematic and infuriating car in the fleet, and now it's one of the more reliable ones. I wouldn't mind just a *little* more power to be able to hold a burnout in 3rd gear a bit better, but it's good enough. 2nd gear already takes a set of tires from sticker to blown in about 70 seconds.
