If you are talking front top mount then the arrow should be on the outside of the car facing front to rear.

Find the part number on here after changing year to 2007: https://www.parts-honda.uk/honda-cars/civic/2010/20-type-r-plus/10751 then cross reference to sites like Autodoc If you are looking at ball joint on the end of the lower control arm it doesn't look like Honda list it as a separate part.

Not heard of this on the FN2. One thing that can happen is for the shaft to snap where the rubber vibration damper sits as water gets under it and rusts through the shaft. Not a common fault but no fun - J&R probably best replacement if it does happen. One gear related issue is the synchro...

Sounds a better bet Read this before you go as it will tell you what to look for: https://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/index.php?threads/buying-guide-check-list-for-the-fn2-civic-type-r.60294/

If that is a Scottish car from new then it will tend to be more rusty simply due to the weather conditions up there. Hondas have bullet proof engines and running gear but the bodies are the weak point. Any rust however well sorted will eventually creep back, if the body is that bad I would be...

Are your sure it's the shocks. IIRC the FK2 has a beam axle like the FN2 - could it just be knackered bushes? Perhaps fitting some polybushes might be the answer? https://www.polybush.co.uk/polyurethane-suspension-bushes-components-products/honda/civic-fk2/

The HC limit is 200 so he's talking cobblers - you have grounds for a complaint unless your cat really has been removed. But were the other emissions within limits? Mine was 181 on last test as they clearly did not run it long enough to get the cat hot but it passed. The FN2 has a long warm up...

We aren't doing a group hug this year unfortunately. But the idea is to meet up and put faces to names since we are a country wide group. There is a bit of a display element and trying to put the forum name out there.

I'd stick with it. Don't have to do everything at once, just prioritise the jobs and fix when funds/time allows. Sounds like you know what you are doing so could save lots on labour. The brake rebuild sounds like priority #2 and a new set of slider pins etc should be done too. I'd buy an...

no I mean this https://www.beaulieu.co.uk/events/simply-japanese/ I organise group parking for civinfo.com members.

A group of us used to meet a few years ago but the Chinese plague stopped that. We do try to meet at Simply Japanese, I'm a moderator on civinfo.com and I organise our forum for that. Join up if you haven't already.

did you use him then?
