They're a beautiful bit of gear, I'm having issues with mine but I still love it.
Mods are easy but if it doesnt have one already get yourself a decent exhaust on it, they sound fantastic. Better than any BOSS motor you come across thats for sure. A MOMO wheel and shifter would be a great addition too. Worth every cent.

i got to pay it off first, but with in the next couple of weeks i can hopefully fit, a decent exhaust system...looking at pacemakers, twin hi flow cats, and twin 2.5 inch.
once the car is payed off it might visit capa. afterall it is only a 2.5 hour drive away

Looks very nice mate, great colour too, I too went from an EB (Fairmont Ghia) to an AU( Fairmont Ghia once again) both were/ are V8's. So what do you think ?, I reckon they handle heaps better and I love the AU's lines too, I still gt a soft spot for the EB's though but I reckon the AU is much more refined and of better quality for sure. Enjoy your new pride & joy congratulations.

at the moment my eb would rape this in handling. but has got no where near the power, response or braking. give it time though and the handling will be improved in this aswell.

eb5speed - you will not be disappointed with an exhaust upgrade (Paccie 4-1s or Tri-Ys), plus what you already listed, as well as an edit to make the most of it. You should see 250kw easy(around 190-200rwkw)

here i was thinking i paid to much for it, lol looks like i did alright afterall. au220 has got a good ring to it lol

Nice looking ride mate! They are great cars! Nice colour too, although I always though narooma blue was a series 3 colour, obviously not
