Let's make it very clear, TypeOne (http://typeone.jp/) is a subsidiary of Spoon Sports (http://www.spoon.jp/).

T1R aka Type One Racing is a brand/product strictly created and owned by A&J. The T1R website is registered to A&J, the contact details are also directed to A&J.

The way I see it, T1R/TypeOneRacing capitalized on TypeOne/Spoon's reputation to create products that make believe are from Japan, and since A&J is also a Spoon distributor, it blurs the line and creates the illusion that T1R products are somewhat made/sanctioned/approved from Spoon.

AJ Racing is NOT a distributor of T1R products, they exclusively OWN T1R, and they market the brand/products to be distributed, period.

Nothing new here in business101, everyone tries to copy everyone to a certain degree whenever possible.

Well I always seen T1R as it's own and completely separate from Type One Spoon. Even though the names are close, these accusations of A&J trying to copy Type Spoon is part of the forum rumors/bullshit no evidence, I don't see any spoon exhausts that look like T1R. Only idiots would fall for something like that for comparing Spoon and T1R. Anyways please stay on topic to the original post. I don't care about the scandal between A&J and J's racing or Spoon.

I agree with whiteflash comment about T1R. Thank you!
