Just another n00b, this one's from Alabama!
Hey guys. 
New here, and although I am a lifelong car enthusiast, I'm still fairly new to Miatas. Got my 1999 NB about a year ago to have as an autocross/track day/just for fun car. So far, I picked up a hard top for it, added some used TRMotorsport wheels with BFG Rivals, put in a new eBay radiator and hoses, and lowered the car by cutting a coil (I know, I know, that's bush league, but it's only temporary until I decde what suspension I want to go with...probably some Bilsteins with eBay coil overs and QA1 springs, just still researching ATM).
And although I am new to Miataturbo, I am very active on some Mustang forums, and been lurking on a few other Miata forums as well, so I know how to use the search button
Good to be here and looking forward to learning more about these cars.

Haha! Thanks for the welcomes guys! Great responses. I figured when I mentioned that I cut the coils, I'd get some good replies.
I don't have many good pics but here is one, before I put on the TRMotorsports wheels. I also traded the green hardtop for a red one that matches the car.
This is the day I brought it home. Nothing special, jut another red NB. At least it has the nicer 16" twisted star wheels from an 01 model.
And I did replace this:
With a more functional, track appropriate this:
