New Harrison ready for final QT inspection

[dc7531]

Took the Cobra out today for the first drive as a registered vehicle - loved every minute of it. Went the back way down to Emu Park (20kms), stopped for morning tea and travelled back along the coastal route, then on through the hills behind Yeppoon and home again. Everything worked as it should, suspension was firm, motor and exhaust sounded great under acceleration with a low burble at idle. Received several waves and a few photo requests. Can't wait for the next run - I think I'll be the first one to volunteer to pick up the daughter from her after school job from now on.

Just a few things I noticed. There is a squeak from the front suspension on rougher roads which I'll have to find, a slight rattle in the drivers door rear latch and will have to adjust the rotation of the steering wheel to suit the wheels. The blinker sometimes doesn't self release and with nothing audible with the flashing, I found I was leaving it on by mistake (maybe install a small buzzer) The pedals will have to take some getting used to as they are fairly close together. Also need a couple of discreet cup holders and wear a long sleeve shirt.

I would also like to change the engine oil and filter - any recommendations for the 4.6L Mustang engine? Custom Kitcar mentioned Valvoline Synpower 10w50.
