William Chen's 2017 S1 build
#1
William Chen's 2017 S1 - Cherokee
Here are some pics he posted on the Supermiata fb group: groups/supermiataracing
The name comes from a peculiar incident at that last race of 2016 where William clinched the Supermiaat S2 championship. Funny if you were there, unless you were Sonny.
Car being built by Alex Renderos - Renderos Racing in Hesperia, CA. I'll let him answer any questions:
Not sure what vents those are. Front aero not done.
****
Many tubes
Handheld ABC plus onboard AR-AFFF system. AGM battery
Aim MXL4, programmable Longacre Accutech gauges. Not quite done yet. I think he's adding boost and EGT gauges and maybe a switch for the Ultrachiller cool suit.
Also getting a Miata Roadster long angles shifter I think.
William is't tall but he had Alex build the box to lower the seat brackets and center the seat frame behind the wheel anyway.
I though this was pretty clever. Oil cooler where headlight was, feeding from nose and exhaling through hood. That spot on the hood is very low pressure. Neat.

Contact info@949racing.com for Renderos Racing email/phone. He's pretty much busy all year just on word of mouth, no advertising or website so no guarantees he will be able to take your project in soon.

Radio install
Racetech seat install
"Diamond" style door bars with supports into door sill. V beefy door bar
Here you can see the seat box finished
Looks like he put in a seat back brace even with a burly Racetech FIA seat. Racetech seats seem to be even burlier than most FIA seats so this install will be ultra solid.
Note the fire system nozzle pointing the fuel filler hose behind the bulkhead.
Lots of extra triangulation around the A pillar
