2014 Ford Fiesta SE 1.4L

Hey everyone, Glad to be part of this community. I have a 2014 1.4 L SE manual that I bought for my daughter. She didn't want to learn manual so now I have the car. Honestly, its a fun little car! Now that I am driving it, I want a few upgrades! I don't want a loud exhaust. I took out the resignator, (where I live you only smog once) and now I am looking into a cold air intake and maybe a throttle body spacer. besides the $359 K&N intake, any other companies I am not aware of that have a cold air intake for a great value? I do live in CA but can get it delivered to AZ. Thanks for any suggestions!

Cold air intake might grab you a small gain. Not sure what a spacer would accomplish. There aren't many power mods to do to a base model (an ST has way more options for that kind of thing). Welcome!

The basic Fiesta loves lightweight wheels. Consider ones that weigh around 12.5 pounds and then shop for tires with an eye on the stated weight of each tire, usually listed in the specifications. I prefer to pick a lighter 195 60 15 over a heavier 185 60 15. It sounds crazy, but the variables are there among tire brands.
The construction of the tire you select will have an effect on handling and fuel economy. Only the driver knows what predominate conditions they operate under.
The basic Fiesta is a very nice driving car as is. But it can be greatly improved if you carefully chose items like wheels and tires, shocks and struts and a few select bushings.
