Christopher Gutierrez had always been into off-roading and trucks, but had always imagined how fun a boosted BRZ would be. When Crawford Performance's shop car came up for grabs, Gutierrez decided to sell off his Toyota Tacoma PreRunner and dive into the world of modifying sport compacts.

FAVORITE MODIFICATION:
"Favorite mod would have to be the turbo. It gives the car the power it needs to really be a fun car for the track, canyons, mountains, or even just commuting. Adding some power to this car really makes it come alive and turns it into a whole new car compared to stock."

FUTURE MODIFICATIONS:
"n the future I do hope to do a new turbo setup and a rebuild or even an engine swap so that the car can push even more power and still be reliable.
Something I hope to do soon is upgrade the whole cooling system to new tubing, a beefier radiator, oil cooler and transmission cooler.
I also plan on adding coilovers and a new set of wheels with a different offset...I would love to give the car more of a time-attack feel and build."
