Rear Hatch Release Cable
So I'm looking for the part number for this cable. It connects the hatch handle to the release mechanism inside the hatch. I found the one in the pic on a random site by trying different Google search strings and unfortunately it's out of stock there. It's the only one I've been able to find without the part number.
Seat Belt Retractor
Anyone know where i can get my hand on seat belt retractors? do the parts crossover to any other model that’s still supported by oem? are there any aftermarket options worth the money? or should i just buy used
Ik its like beating a dead horse, but I just can't get rid of my bumpsteer! Read desc. please
I've tried flipped tie rod ends, steering rack risers, delrin steering rack slider, I've tried flipped ends and a rack riser at the same time, extended lower ball joints, raising my ride height, lowering my ride height, I've spent somewhere close to $600 on alignments trying to get it to drive ok and I'm still right where I started. its genuinely a nightmare to drive and I'm getting really fed up with the car. someone please help and point me in the right direction. I've started doing string alignments just to try different things and it tracks in a straight line great until a tiny little bump or imperfection in the road.
Someone buy my ep3
Thinking of testing the waters and sell my black 2004 ep3. It has 80k original miles on it, maintenance has been up to date, new suspension (RLCA,FLCA, ball joints, upper tie rod ends, bc racing coilovers), new ac compressor/lines, new radiator, carbon fiber steering wheel). Runs great, have not had any issues mechanically, needs a paint correction tho haha. Just want something bigger thats all.
How much do you think I can list it for? Or how much would you guys pay for something like this realistically?

New shoes, headlight resto and a bath
I ended up going 16x7 +38 with 205/55 conti grand touring tires and it is SOOO much nicer to drive than it was with the previous trashed 205/40zr-18 setup. These lowering springs are pretty stiff so no scrapes yet! 🤞
oil pan reseal
hey guys, i’m going to be installing a new a/c kit tomorrow, and i’m thinking of doing my oil pan as i have the opportunity to use a lift. my question is how much did the subframe have to come down in order to gain access? i have some people saying not much, and some even telling me the subframe does not have to be lowered, but the service manual says it does. if anyone’s done it and has a easy way it would be greatly appreciated lol.
Looking for a rear bumper!
I’m looking for a second bumper to cut up for a custom look. I’m saving the oem bumper.
I’ve been on market place but no luck in my area up North of Chicago.
Any body have one or know where to look?
Finally fixed my EP3's biggest eyesore!
about $45 in supplies and a couple of hours got my fender looking much better! I wouldn't call it "good" by any means, its also my first time painting a panel on any car. However it's a massive improvement I'd say. I did it outside in the shade and it was intermittently a light breeze so there was a little bit of overspray on some other bits and a good bit of dust and crap in the paint its self, but it doesn't bother me much. If I were ever to do more of the car, which I do plan to do my roof, hood, front bumper, and drivers door eventually, I'd do a more proper setup in my garage. But for how cheap this was and the little effort I put in, its good enough in my book! I do plan to wet sand and polish, but the instructions say to wait 7 days before doing so, so I will be back next Tuesday with an update of how it turned out! I'm hoping me driving it around for the next week won't somehow affect how it turns out as I assume the 7 days thing is for cure time.😬
A/C Line Replacement.
Good day everyone! So I’m looking for an aftermarket replacement for the EP3. It connects to the dryer and has the high pressure valve. Idk if this is sold at the local auto parts but EP3 parts are kinda rare here in South Florida. Anyone would know the corresponding part number for an aftermarket piece?
3th gear down shift grind
Hello guys,
I have the following problem: during a track day that I attended, I noticed that on down shift from 4th to 3th the 3th was grinding. I tried heal and toe didn't improve. The only time that the 3th didn't grind was when I was shifting at low rpm, around 2500-3000 rpm, anything higher, grind. I've done the following upgrades:
Kaaz LSD
MFactory Final Drive
Synchrotech Carbon Rebuild Kit Honda
New OEM clutch
All new seals
New clutch bearing
Acuity shifter bushings
Hybrid racing gear selector springs
New OEM shifter
Short shifter
Anything else is as the car came with. The car has around 180k km.
If anyone has an idea what to do and what to look for, please let me know.

I’m aware this has been covered a million times extensively but I’m curious if anyone has ever had to replace their ecm for this damn code. I did the wiring diag however I’m a tiny bit unsure how correct I did due to the service manual sometimes being a bit confusing on whether or not it want’s a connector connected or not. I replaced my entire spool valve assembly with a Honda oem part. It has fresh oil less than 100 miles. I’m kind of leaning towards ecm but I’m really hoping not and was wondering if there’s anything else worth checking before I dump 400 dollars into an ecm and keys.
Fuse Box (Near Engine) Screws
First post, but I have a issue with my EP3 CTR, the screw on the left is loose and is causing electrical issues throughout the car. She doesn't crank. :( Would anyone know where I can buy the OEM replacement part for it? So I can tap the threading? Or can I just buy a screw of the same size with the appropriate washers and replace it like that?
