What are the differences between the '93 and '94 preludes?

92sleeper · 02-25-2002, 07:27 PM

Ok, I don't know much but I can get this started. Well, the wheels are different in 94. They went from straight spoke to directional and the 94s are 18lbs as opposed to the 93s 22lbs. Also the curb wieght went up over 100lbs due to chsis renforcement I think. The rear console starage peice disappeared
in 94 and thats all I know

and the 94 have the full electro dash

Dash speaker grills are different.

VTEC1994 · 02-25-2002, 08:07 PM

Would it be hard to swap the '94 intrument cluster into a '93???

lol i HIGHLY doubt curb weight went up 100 lbs. some other differences, 94 got a new ebrake location and a cupholder. and semi clear front turn signals.

see that little button in the upper left corner that says "search"?. . .thats your new best friend

Oh, and one of MY FAVORITES that I have on my 1994, that would just bug me on a 92-93 is the Mirror adjustment control position. Instead of the akward place of the 93's, the 94's have the switch on the center console next to the e-brake and cupholder!

All of the differences avail. in 94 compared to the 93:

Leather interior
Elecro luminescent guages
led on the spoiler
front nostils have 2 horizontal pieces
map lights
cup holder
tweeter covers are slightly different
clear/amber vs full amber front turning signals
different ebrake, heated seats/mirror and mirror adjustment button location
9 spoke (18 lbs) vs 7 spoke (22lbs) 15" rims
the weight is the same from the factory but we all know the leather weighs more than the material.

There is an armwrest storage bin

You now all have the power!

As far as teh mirror switch, it's in the area I see it in most cars and I like it there!

Yeah it's in the middle on the 94+. On the 92-93 it mounted in the drivers door.

when you say a full electro dash, do you mean the speedo and the tach as well? Mine is a '93 and my temp and gas gauge is electronic. Any pics?

shadowZZ · 02-27-2002, 02:34 AM

Hey long whats up? and yes the needles and speedo and tach illuminate just like the rest of the dash

Some 92-93 have LEB spoilers also
Heated eats/mirrors only came in Canada, but I think they were available in 92-93
(2's had an optional console storage bin as well

I was comparing the 93's to 94+

Yes the 92 had a glove box which went inbetween the rear seats, different from the 94+ box.

Yes heated seats/mirrors are available pre 93, again I was just pointing out the difference between the 93-94. In my post I was acutally talking about the position of the heated seat/mirror toggle switch.

Sorry, I guess your heading was just a little confusing

but it doesnt extend all the way back to the back seats creating a barrier between the two back seats.

ExodusFX · 02-27-2002, 06:19 PM

exactly, i have the box he was referring to on 94+.

we were talking about 93's & 94's remember.

jsmooney · 02-27-2002, 08:31 PM

What is necessary for a Tach/Speedo conversion? How hard is it? I have a 93, I want the elecroluminescent
