I forgot to post a picture of the drag racing setup. It's an older picture though:
I plan on putting the turbo kit in, but I want to take it slow and make sure I have all bases covered first (i.e. fuel, timing, piping). Once I finally blow up the engine, I know it will happen, I am looking to do a swap in of an ecotec engine.

Because nobody else is. If nobody else was modifying any Honda, would that prevent you from modifying yours????

A car with a headlight removed for fresh air, drag wheels and tires, and no interior; but a stock engine is a "sleeper?"
I think you need to re-read your automotive dictionary.
On another note,
Is that the exhaust sticking out the front bumper? How do you get it to and from the track?

Eventually, I plan on getting a truck and some kind of enclosed trailer for this car, but for now, I still drive it to and from the track. I guess a man can't take up a project with a car other than what has been done before. It's simply a goal of mine to get this car into the 10's. Who knows if it can be done??? Another reason I chose this car was because I can always get the employee discount no matter what time of year, so if something breaks on it or I need a new engine, then it's not going to be as expensive. My next step is to start modifying the engine and i'm kicking around the idea of adding nitrous. A nice 75 shot would almost halve the current power to weight ratio. Keep your imput coming though, I appreciate all comments.

Hey man, Big-ups - Much Respect
Props for doing something original . Nevermind the bunch of snivelling kids on this site who can't see past the end of their Honduh Badge (I'm a former owner so I know the type well)
Back in the late 80's early 90's the majority of the modding world laughed at the thought of modding a Honda (and look where they are today) , I'm not suggesting that Kia / Daewoo(your car) / Hyundai etc are going to become the next Honda but still awesome that you're doing it
I also chose something different from Honduh thats why I got rid of my 2000 hatch and then my 2002 SIR (my new car happens to be the very reason why GM decided to sell the Aveo in the first place)
Keep us posted on your progress
In the meantime here is what a subcompact can look like with a little work (2005 Echo Hatchback)

Have you done any work to the internals? Will that motor support that 75 shot?

Hey nice job man! You could lose another 50lbs. by getting the sound deadening/fire proofing material out of there. If you get a chunk of dry ice and rub it over the material you can basically smash it off with a hammer and/or chisel. Good luck! Keep us updated.

Alright just picked the car up and drove it about 35 miles on the freeway home. It is quite a rush when I floor it and I look at the speedometer almost instantly jump 7-10 mph. It has a 70 shot on it right now, but I am still looking to get a custom intake made for it so that I can run the direct port system. I was not able to get the track tonight or to the dyno, but I will schedule one in the next few days. Here are some pictures:
I still have to get a valve to hook up that vent pipe to the bottle and then out the bottom of the car. There is already a hole drilled for it. I also need to get a purge line/(s) put in.
