actually, I had a look around and found some discussion.
I made a howto (link to miata.net) here:

This was for a 94(NA), but I assume you can do a similar thing on an NB.
If you attempt this, please take some pictures for our howto.
Thanks

I did this on my 89 - not so much for height (im short ), but because it made the seat more 'huggy' for spirited driving. Unfortunatley this was a while back and I didnt take any pics.
I can tell you that it does make a difference, and feels better IMHO.
Take heed of the warning in the miata.net instructions - it really is sharp under there. Bloody can be removed fromthe seats with fabric cleaner.

Thanks to all you enthusiastic MX5 drivers...
Have noted that the latest model 2007 has raised seat rails..allowing some modification ..
I will investigate the possibility of chopping the seat tubes if there are any .. Johnboy

I'm also tall with long legs. In the NA's and NB's that I have owned, I remove the drivers seat and unclip the seat bottom cover at the front. i take some foam out of the seat base, but I also insert more foam on top of the front bolster to give me more support under my thigh. I also carry extra thigh support (foam pad) for extended trips. The best cure that I have found though, is to get a NC -more cockpit space and legroom
