Registered again after 20 odd years.

The G is finally registered for Club use in NSW. Just waiting for my gauges to come back from Victoria, wheel alignment and a tune on the dyno.
I'm still not happy with the front of the car being so high. I might need to have some springs made 20mm lower than the standard ones.
 Finally registered for club use and 60 days private
use due to the new logbook trial in NSW.
Dash is a mess while I wait for the instruments
to come back.

Dash is back out.

I have had some trouble with my new temp gauge and my rebuilt tacho. I had the tacho rebuilt by a fellow in Western Sydney who couldn't fix it (He still charged me). So I have removed the tacho and temp gauge and sent them to Howard Instruments in Victoria. I hope they can sort them out. Inside the car is a mess.

High tech suspension adjustment device.

The front suspension is sitting a bit high and I have been thinking about some shorter front springs, until I was talking to some of the "In the know" Renault guys who said the suspension needs to settle. I was told to loosen the bolts in the front suspension and allow the car to come down then to weigh it down and re-tighten. I placed car stands under the ball joints and loosened the bolts. It came down 15mm just with that. I then used my newly developed high tech suspension adjustment device as in the photo to add some weight. Once I had it down by about 50mm I re-tightened all the bolts, emptied the high tech device and put the wheels back on. Not sure it has made a great difference.

About 60 kg of weight added.
Sitting just a bit lower but not much.
