Of course!

Its inevitable that a lot of E Series guys will end up in AU's at some point. They are going to see the light eventually. :

It's a funny thing ... I never really liked the AU ... until I drove a couple ... and now owning mine for a couple of months .. and starting to modify it ... and it's really nice to drive ... good thing I got the AU over the BA I was looking it ... I saved myself a bit of money and got something that's just as nice to drive and does the same job.

A guy I work with received a phone call from ford about his manual BA turbo to modify the ecu apparently some turbos are having problems with missing at a certain rev range. So I gather it must be a recall.
Prob the overboosting problem some of them have.... The ecu gets reflashed to fix it. There's quite a debate on this.

Congrats, it looks great, all those who say AU's are crap really don't know what they are missing out on, honestly i prefer my AU over my BA.

Plus the Au seems to be more reliable. A guy I work with received a phone call from ford about his manual BA turbo to modify the ecu apparently some turbos are having problems with missing at a certain rev range. So I gather it must be a recall.

Nice Car mate... Looks great! Love the color too!

Once you've owned an AU, you never go back... they're an amazing car. I'm kinda wishing I'd held out a bit longer and saved the extra dosh for an XR6 now, but that's life I guess

Very nice purchase. Top choice of colour too. Ride, I just put that down to the quality of the roads.
