Thanks, but nah! Haha. I searched for about 6 months to find a clean 3rd generation Prelude 4WS 5-speed in red on black. They're tough to find, and I ended up going clear to Spokane, Washington (1,500+ miles or so away) to buy this one. It was worth the trip.

Sure thing! Nothing to worry about with engine cleaning as long as you're a little careful. I enjoy it. The nice thing is that here in AZ, the worst I'm likely to have to deal with in the short term is a little dust accumulation. This thing shouldn't be too difficult to maintain at this level of cleanliness.

Well, it's a Prelude first of all. It's quite rare. The four-wheel steering system in the 1988-1991 Preludes was really revolutionary. It actually uses a mechanical system to turn the rear wheels at the same time as the fronts, albeit not as much as the fronts. Up to a certain angle of turning the steering wheel, the rears turn the SAME direction as the front tires, then when you get past that point, the rears start turning the OPPOSITE direction as the fronts. Trust me -- this sucker turns on a dime! I can bust U-turns like nobody's business, lol.

Here is a YouTube vid that shows the 4WS in action.

Wiki has good info, too.

And pics of my 4WS, cranked hard left and right.
