Next choose the orientation of the horn bracket, again I choose this way as I wanted the cable to be tucked up along side the bodywork rather than out any other direction.

Attach the spade connectors to the horn first then put the horn in the OEM location and thats it!! One side done and I think looks very neat and OEM look.

Now to the right side.
Again same as before, remove horn, unplug cable, but there is an addition here that makes things easier and that is unplug the front ambient sensor too as the horn wires for this side are in the same plastic covering.
So this is the sensor, unplug here then feed the wire up to the top, also pop off the brown cable tie and remove same as before, but you will reuse this one.

Agian cut off the horn plug and start stripping off the masking tape on the plastic cable covering, this side has two cable coverings, a small bit and large bit, in this pic you will see what I mean, here I have started to pull out the horn wires and leave the ambient sensor wires in place.

Keep feeding the horn wires all the way back to the larger plastic cable cover, basically it is the one where the brown cable tie is attached too in the pic above
When you reach there, you are going to be doing basically the same as the other side, strip/bare the wires, cut the length of new wire, join and solder up. Mask up the wires and push them back into the oem plastic covering.

New cable in, and re-mask the plastic cover

Everything back in place and feed the ambient sensor back to where it was and plug in.

Cable then fed in along side the radiator and body and tucked up here

And thats it all over.......................:)
Some nice NEW parts arrived for my OWN NSX!
1. Ignition Switch
2. Crank Pulley
3. Tail light Seals
4. Starter Motor Bolts
5. Drive Shaft Heat Plate Bolts
6. Oil Drain Bolt
Although the bolts on my starter motor and drive shaft heat plate are fine, I wanted to install new ones, [in keeping with my underside detail plan]
When I was trying to diagnose a starting issue I had last year [which turned out to be the starter], one of the things I inspected was the ignition switch, it was a little sticky at times but nothing too bad. I did open up the switch and clean and re-grease but it still didnt have the nice feeling I remembered, so for me I just wanted to add a new one. So hopefully get to that today.
When I get some more time, I'll be doing a fresh service along with new crank pulley and belts and tail light seals.

Old bolts on the heat shield, there are 3 bolts in total, the third one is tucked away at the back above the drive shaft and is a bit awkward to get too.

Heat shield was fairly clean anyway as I done that last year, but gave it another clean down anyway

So next I took to cleaning some nice aluminium parts, underneath the car also.
So with the bits removed here is the condition
http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...8/SAM_2967.jpg
Parts as basically covered in in dirt, grim and tar.
I used a combination of things to start the process but its not easy removed, finally got some of the nice aluminium to show
