What's the best method to access the back of, or remove,
the NC radio from the console?

It’s an NC forum favorite.

How come many new NC’s get delivered with excessive
tire pressure; what is the correct pressure?
It is believed that Mazda over inflates the tires so they do not develop flat
spots during the long shipping period from Japan. Likewise, dealers leave them
over inflated because they may sit on the dealer’s lot for a long time.
Dealer’s often “forget” to release the excess pressure when delivering
the car. The correct pressure is 29PSI.
What is the easiest method for installing sway bars on
my NC?
See our garage article for NC R&R instructions.
What is the difference between an NC and an NC2?
There is no such thing as an "NC2". NC refers to the VIN prefix of the third generation MX-5 Miata. It has not changed. Some people choose to refer to the mid project cycle face lift that began with the 2009 model as an NC2, but that is not official in any way and is not acknowledged by Miata.net.
