[QUOTE=Sudesh;71658]One problem that did get me on this car was the headlight retract on the passenger side. It had a mind of its own lol
Sometime's it would work fine, then when the car was running it would have a delay, then sometimes it would go perfect on the retract switch and then it wouldnt work lol
So I started clearing out the problems from:
1. Fuses
2. Relays
3. Retract Control Unit
4. Retract Switch
5. Circuit test
6. Wiring loom inspection
So last test was the headlight motor, what I noticed after checking the headlight loom was, when passenger side motor was disconnected the drivers side would work perfect every time on any loop.
At this stage I was certain it was the motor. After removing the old motor and opening it for inspection it was clear it had internal damage, it also had allot of moisture build up
With my old X-1/9, winky headlights was cured by replacing those three diodes under the cover. We used beefier ones, so they wouldn't get fried again!

“I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson
This car had the spoiler brake light with a bit of DIY cabling
Also had a split
I had a spare OEM socket, so removed the old connectors, repaired the cut in the cable and cable tied the loom to the correct position.
The lining in the boot was missing the plastic fixing screw so the carpet was sitting a bit loose
I fitted new screw and lined the carpet up so its nice and snug
I installed stainless HEL braided lines on the car, then done a full brake bleed as always. Pedal feel is much better, the car already has EBC Yellow stuff pads up front.
