Anyway, this is an introduction so...
I have my 929, a Series 1 HC, for about 10 years now and still love driving it. I have made a few enhancements since owning it and virtually modified, replaced or repaired everything mechanical on it, save for a couple of items. But they are on the hit list too
I had a bingle in the front end several years ago and replaced it with Series 2 bits, I think the Series 2 front end looks much smarter.This vehicle seems to be at the stage now where it really only gains interest from enthusiasts. There is still a few to be found around the country, some in good working order, some not. I just recently purchased another one, which is in excellent condition, bar the gearbox, and with 6 months rego on it. I am the third owner of the car since it was built. I purchased it as a parts car mainly, as bits and pieces are getting harder and harder to find, it is almost too good for that though. But if I cannot do anything with the gearbox without major expense then it will remain off the road and be relegated to a donor car
There is many things I like about the HC 929, some have been innovations by Mazda, the styling certainly does not scream at you, which is fine by me, but among the many things I love about the car now, is its relative uniqueness and rarity
I do miss the discussions about this car among other enthusiasts though.
