The start
I bought my Mx-5 the 13th of November in 2007. Drove it around with a rusted exhaust with a big leak untill my Racing beat header, and cat back arrived in December. Same day got out in the driveway, got the car up on some small ramps and quickly found out what terrible shape my current exhaust really was in... Thankfully I had allready gotten a stock cat locally, since my cat replacement pipe didn't arrive till next week. Also installed the racing beat intake at the time. All purchased from Goodwin-racing.com (great site and great guy!) Fired it up after I got the exhaust on and couldn't believe how quiet it was! It was a great day.
Inspiration and help
Started out reading and posting on my local Norwegian forum and www.miata.net (great info on there!) Stumbled upon www.clubroadster.net which really is an awesome forum, with plenty of information and great people with great taste! Thru clubroadster I found a great british forum called mx5nutz, which is a really laid back and great forum!
Great forums to go to for inspiration and all the info you need!
