EDM - European Domestic Market or Genuine OEM Honda Parts from Europe.

Here are some photos taken from a 1997 Honda Prelude Italian sales brochure.



















Notice the 4 bolt pattern?




Brochures from UK, France, Germany, Scandinavian countries etc. all slightly vary in specs. I will post other countries in the future.

Can you possibly find a Helms manual for a RHD Prelude? I still need to figure out some of the wiring for mine.

In the UK we use the USDM service manual, its pretty much the only resource we have. There may be a Haynes (I assume our eqivalent of your Helms?) but its meant to be guff.

4 bolt pattern wheels are on the lower HP cars, IIRC there were some motors making about 140hp. I'm not sure if they were the H23 or a SOHC 2.2 but they were not VTEC motors and were a true base model. They had them in Japan as well.
The 4 stud for the 5th is only on the 2.0L, all UKDM 2.2 VTI's have 5 stud.

5th gen courtesy/door lights. The Differences.


Very rare - EDM red version court. lights.


Very common - USDM, EDM, JDM clear court. lights. Can be seen on SH ludes in USA.
In Europe these were even more common.


Most common - without lights. This is what most people have.

5th gen EDM "Honda" emblem. True EDM spec.

^ nah, the emblems don't change between lhd and rhd.

That rear "Honda" emblem is always on the left side of the trunk on European vehicles. UK, France, Italy, Spain, Germany etc, all have that emblem on the left side.

Some countries in Europe don't even have that emblem and also don't have VTi emblem either.

JDM Honda Access Air Refiner w/dual dome light












Here is a similar unit installed overhead as oppose to 4th gen which is installed between the rear speakers.



Also note that this is not 5th gen specific, but at the time was available as a Honda Accessory for a wide range of Honda vehicles. Controlled by inbuilt switches and doesn't require a need for a console air refiner switch that was featured in 4th gens.

Although prelude_uk has a very nice example of an EDM 2.2VTEC, it doesn't look like a factory-standard Motegi, which comes with only a single rear foglight at the RHS, and features a Motegi badge. The front foglights are slightly different also, and I'm not 100% sure that those alloys came as standard on the Motegi either.

In saying that - the body kit looks identical (apart from the missing 'p r e l u d e' wording along the back, underneath the license plate), the engine / transmission etc. are the same, and to all extents and purposes it is the same car. Apologies for being pedantic, and feel free to correct me if you think I've got anything wrong.
