I was going to flam this but I've decided to answer correctly.
I was taught that seat position is determined by following two sequential
steps:
1. Adjust seat travel to the rear where when depressing the either the clutch
pedal or gas pedal completely your knee should bend no more than 75 to 80
degrees (your knees should never lock when depressing a pedal). Adjust to the
longer reach.
2. After travel is adjusted set the seat recline so that the bottom of your
wrists land at the 12 o-oclock position on top of the wheel without your elbows
bent at 75 to 80 degrees (your elbows should never lock when turning the wheel).
With the seat adjusted in this manner my seat winds up one click from the
rear position and the seatback reclined to be flush against the bulkhead. And
this is with the seat back foam removed from my seat as well as about half of
the seat bottom foam removed as well. With stock foam in the seat my head would
rub against the top.
When you are 6'4" every inch counts in a Miata. For a more accurate
description of what 6'4" is - I have a 36" inseam and wear a 36" shirt.

Well since I donʼt really consider driving with the seat fully reclined in
a ghetto driving position to be proper driving posture I guess I never
considered this as restricting the travel of the seat.
