Hey everyone!
I am actually not a new Fiesta owner, since I purchased mine last April. But I am ready to start being a smart one. I test drove a white 2015 Fiesta ST and absolutely loved it, bought it without questioning it much. That being said there were modifications on it, and I really do not know much about any of that world. I loved the year driving around low to the ground, loud blow off valve every-time I let off the throttle, backfired, and the flashy gold wheels. But now I am ready to calm this thing down a bit and make it perfect to my liking, and I could use some help.
I will be making the road trip from Arizona to Rhode Island in this thing late may, so looking to make changes ASAP.
Here are the things I am thinking about doing in order or priority. I am still a college student with a pretty low budget, so need to keep that in mind when looking for things.
1. Suspension
-Right now I am sitting on some springs that I have begun to absolutely hate. It rides pretty shitty if I am not on a perfectly flat road, and I can take a hard turn without feeling like I am rubbing or scrapping the ground.
-From what I have read I am thinking of going to the stock suspension. I have heard great things and will not be tracking this anytime soon. Does this make sense instead of buying adjustable coils?
-Where should I look for a stock suspension? What do I need to buy exactly? What id a fair price range?
2. Blow Off
-It is way too loud. I need a new one, maybe a stock one that is not going to annoy me or scream for attention
3. Gold wheels
-What is the best way to go about changing this? Ordering new wheels all together? Or just painting the XXR's that I have on them now?
4. Exhaust
-I am pretty sure I have a down pipe, and I really do love the sound. But I would like to quite this down a tiny bit, especially for cruising long distances on the highway.
Any tips are appreciated!
Thank you everyone and I am happy to be a part of the group.
