The reason it never caused problems is because of the failsafe design of the mount.

It stands to reason that Honda KNOW that the failing mount is an issue because I haven't seen anything quite like it on other Hondas despite their awful mount construction - anyone with an EG/EK/DC2 will know about the torque mounts disintegrating.

I haven't closely inspected EP mounts, but it stands to reason that they'd have a similar failsafe design.

I believe, in the case of the OP, that this too has failed.

ATEOTD, it is pretty easy to check the status of your engine mount so I would urge people, especially with older cars, to check

It looks from those pics of the CTR that it was bit of a shed anyway.
