Another New 2025 ITS Owner - Any Highly Reccomended Mods for Spirited Driving?

[ender_ong]

Our cars use the same clutch slave as the FL5, and I'm not sure if anyone out there is selling pre-modified slave cylinders yet. There was somebody selling modified FK8 slave cylinders, but it's a different part and even uses a different style of hose connection.

I didn’t want to mess with my clutch slave cylinder so I bought a modified one from these guys:

A brand-new clutch slave is $130, so they're upcharging like $100 for the delete service.

That seems fair to me.

This is solid!!

Just a fair warning thing: I would not attempt the clutch slave swap and the CMC damper delete without a proper power bleeder.

You'd be surprised how much air makes it into the master cylinder even when you actively try to stop fluid from draining out of it. I put a rubber vacuum cap on the line to my master cylinder to prevent this as much as I could while I swapped the CMC damper for the Sirimoto N1 delete, and it still got full of air.

I cover the use of the Motive power bleeder in my video, and I also put up a post on the Civic forum about how to set up an adapter cap for the Motive bleeder sold by CTA: https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/adapter-for-motive-power-bleeder.58885/

I’ve only done small things but they have made the driving experience nicer.
- PRL rear motor mount for more consistency when launching. Improved 1st to 2nd shifts too.
- Skunk2 weighted shift knob for slightly better feel.
- K&N drop in filter for slightly more sound and gas mileage.
- Tinting since summers in SoCal get pretty hot.

Wunderladen rear motor mount (street) or PRL if you want something a bit more aggressive without too much NVH

I just wanted to circle back to some folks' suggestions for the RMM. I installed the PRL RMM today. It only took 15 minutes, and wow, what a drastic difference with those shifts and the overall feel of the car. Spot on about the shifts in 1st and 2nd—such a great improvement! Thanks, guys!

@Elusive23
Glad it’s working out so well for you. That motor mount and some good shoes are honestly my best bang for the buck upgrades I’ve done. The K&N filter is close.

I ordered the Artwork V2 spoiler which I will be putting on sometime in November as they tend to take 6-8 weeks to receive. I also got a black A-Mark Rear badge assembly from @ashmostro that I will be putting on when that arrives. (Tracking says today)
I always felt the stock spoiler for this car was weak sauce. Everything else is so aggressive and then to fall flat on your face with that? The Carbon Spoiler should have been stock from the factory but in Gloss Black.

Nice! I also recently ordered the Artwork spoiler, but V1. I agree that the stock spoiler is a legit nub.

Artwork should be legit, told me they finish the piece with about 4 coats of clear coat over the CF🤌

I wish I could see V1 and V2 in person to compare them. I dont want something that screams "too much". I have seen the pictures on the site but wish they had some better ones.
