2 questions you really have to ask yourself...

What exactly do you want from the car?
How much money do you want to spend?

if you want to make it faster, you can drop in a twin turbo, then you have to add an intercooler, injectors, fuel pumpand oil lines(i think that's about it), but then it is still going to be front wheel drive, and will be fast only from rolling start. better off selling it then adding about 3k and getting rt turbo (that's what i'm thinking about doing) or you can supercharge it, i seen it done on some forum, just search around. they managed toset itat 7psi for under 2k
or(this is big and expansive or)you can cut everything off, redo the frame and drop in a 305 or something like that in there( seen a picture of one done like that in here)

You might be able to scratch together used TT/VR4 parts for $2500 bucks.

Here is a list of what you will need.

Faster for what reason? Drag racing, stop light racing, roll racing, auto-X or just faster in general.
Being that the car is FWD severely hampers it for most racing except roll racing.
If you just want a faster than stock, and the car to be fast like it looks, but aren't out to break any records, there is nothing at all wrong with converting to TT. It is really the most economical way to get the power you want.

You can use your stock FWD tranny. Easy if it is a stick, a little more involved if it is an auto. You may want to look into getting an LSD. They are fairly expensive, but will help get the power too the ground and also help in preventing you from shelling your transmission.
