Australia Modifying this car, is it worth it?

Hey just wondering how much joy can i expect to get out of this car? I have read this forum for quite sometime; this is my first thread actually

I have had it since August last year, and almost own it. Its a 1996 Model Pas, and is in pretty good condition, low miles (120Km), with the two previous owners being female and quite gente to it. And i was thinking about getting my cash together and swapping in the 4EFTE from the EP91/92 Starlet GT, but i mean is it worth it? All that power running through a front wheel drive, how much of it do you actually get to see?

One of my mates from uni thinks i would be better off selling it and getting a Pulsar GTi or Starlet GT. Dont get me wrong I love my Pas (even tho it is Turqoise , dw respray is on to-do list), but how much can i expect? Its such a hard decision so i was wondering if Riko or DrTweak had any ideas, oh and anyone else who has been there done that.

You do realize the car the 4EFTE comes from is FWD also right? Now if I had the option of that vs. a real Starlet I'd go Starlet as it's 250lbs lighter.

*edit*
By the way, did you two vote in the poll about adding the Starlet and Sera to the forums here?
