The MGA With An Attitude
ROTARY ENGINE MGA - PP-509
This 1958 MGA with a Mazda Rotary power, was built by Randy Brown. It uses a 1982 RX7 12A engine delivering about 200 HP (maybe), stock MGA motor mounts, a Delorto carburetor, special headers, RX7 gearbox, MGB front suspension and disc brakes, and a special driveshaft with RX7 front u-joint and Datsun 280Z rear u-joint and yoke. The rear transmission mount was cut out and a stock RX7 mount was used. The floorboard on the drivers side was narrowed to clear the starter.

The only change to outward appearance is the grill badge. According to Randy the MGA is very fast feels more like a motorcycle than a car.
