Looks like alot of the parts that make a VX a good hyper miller are swapped out. For example, the gear box out of a Y8 is going to have shorter gears, and the intake manifold off of the Y8 has larger intake runners and throttle body, so that probably is only going to help with top end power, not low end torque.

Same goes for the removal of the stoke exhaust with the built in cat. Lets just hope it still has the 5 wire wide band oxygen sensor.

Also the awesome light weight rims are gone and it looks like the front spoiler might be gone as well, probably do to a front end accident.

Overall if you are willing to hunt for a long time to find all the parts to put it back to stock go for it. I would look for a cleaner more complete example. This one looks like it has been "modified" for more performance which usually means it was beaten on really hard to make alot of noise but still be slow.
