yeh it's the actuator for the locking mechanism so when you press the remote it auto goes up and down. My passenger one was dead when the car came across, I spoke to some wreckers and Honda and apparently it's a common fault. Had to get a new one from honda as no wreckers had one as they get snapped up....$195.20 new which is a rip but what can you do.

part number: 72155-S5A-003

Im sure you can also have parts from DC5's that are swappable to the EP3.

like rear strut brace

[typercivic]

brake rotors are the same and i think pads as well but have to confirm that one.

[Nepolian]

$2000 is also interchangable with anything you want!

Internal engine parts, clutch and most service parts (air, oil fuel etc) with the DC5.

Yep pads are same as S2000/DC5R.

[SuperSteve]

thanks typercivic. WOAH 200 bucks ! ! i think i might just go to supercheap and try 1 of there solenoid kits and see how that goes

[typercivic]

Front camber bolts and rear bushes are the same as DC5.

You can use DC5R coilovers into EP3, but you need to shave the metal bushings a bit and use DC5R tie rod ends.

You can also use JDM/AUDM DC5R rear sway bar, but only AUDM Front sway bar.

Front and rear brake pads are the same as AUDM DC5R.
