I'm sure there is a detailed post somewhere but I can't find it.

other differences;
HIDS
Climate Control
Momo Leather Steering Wheel
Stiffer Anti-Roll Bars.

'Other differences included a more track-oriented chassis/undercarriage settings as compared to the EDM, as well as a 215 PS (158 kW; 212 hp) i-VTEC engine (K20A) with different intake manifold,exhaust,camshafts and ECU programming. The JDM EP3 was also available in the traditional Type R championship white while the EDM was not. The EDM has more relaxed gear ratios and some high rpm horse power traded for low rpm torque compared to the JDM .'

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.

You will find that a lot of these type of questions have been asked before. The SEARCH button tends to yield good results. ;)
