Chris' GQ TI Wagon "The Green Goblin"

[Winnie]

So here is my pride and joy. It's a 1992 GQ ST, TB42E. Bought it on the 22nd of October and has been brilliant since that day. It had a 3" lift and 33" MTXs when I bought it, and other than that it was stock.

Apart from the UHF, this is how it was when I bought it.

G'day mate - Welcome aboard. Great people, information and laughs to be found on the forum, so don't be shy and join to make the most of it.

[Winnie]

Thanks guys. Yeah she's a great rig!
Haven't been able to start it since Monday... found out that the computer was 2 inches full of water! So I've been waiting for a new ECU. Then I'll have to sort out this leak. Other than that I haven't had a problem with it in the 2 months I've had it.

Bummer - what sort of ECU you getting? Original second hand, or aftermarket? Done a bit of research in that space recently, and the Haltech is ok, but the Wolf seems to be the pick for Patrols - controls every bloody thing at the click of a mouse!!

[Winnie]

I'm just getting an original one. Don't wanna pay 2 grand for an aftermarket one! It's not like I'll be putting boost through it. I don't see much point in strapping a turbo on a Patrol, if I want a fast car, I'll make a properly fast car.
