Default What is wrong with this engine?

Ok so I am looking into buying my first S2000 and found a couple that might be what i want but one of the sellers sent me this photo and for some reason i feel like something is missing, any help? Also did the 03 BB every come with the tan interior or has anyone done a switch i think it might be a cool color combo.

Those are aftermarket coilpacks. Coil plugs won't fit, unless you get new bolts. Radiator hose changed. Snorkle missing, front wind deflector missing. Aftermarket Battery. Weird red wire near the fuse box...

Both VIN # present on fender, just make sure they match the VIN on the car. If it does, no major accidents in the front end.

You'll need to check the Bajo Oil Bolts.. (Forgot which years and numbers, but 1/2 of AP1's) and change the Cam Tensioner.

And that's a useless strut car


Take it to a mechanic, dump the diff, and see if any abnormal metal shavings, do a compression check, and an leak down. If that all passes, you got a good car.

The red wire is not normal - he tapped into the fuse for something. Also looks like it has an aftermarket sound system.
