The JDM engine is uprated and contains JDM springs, valves, pistons
etc plus it also has a smaller cat.
There are also different gear ratios and mapping in the Japanese car, along with a different intake and exhaust manifolds as well.
Also, the JDM car has a different wiring loom , so many electrical bits,
like the HID lights, won't just 'plug in' to a UK CTR.
The JDM is also group 20 insurance in the UK.
