Regarding authenticity of parts, over 50% of the products we've received from J's Racing in the past may or may not have had J's Racing labels, badges, engravings, or stickers of "J's Racing". J's Racing did not notify us on any of these changes, so we was the importer at the time, were unaware of any changes made by J's.

AJ-Racing actually dropped the J's Racing line as of March 2009 due to internal issues that were never resolved in the past. In the last year, 8 North American dealers dropped J's Racing.

Regards,

Jason @ AJR
im a little confused. so j's just decides on some days to badge their stuff and on other days decide not to?

It was also mentioned on here that ALL of the j's products are badged.

Just did a WHOIS on J's Racing North America.

http://whois.domaintools.com/jsracing-net.com

At the bottom you will see that A-J Racing owns the website (has the same look and feel)

Like I said, it is important to contact J's Japan directly and ask them to explain on what's going on.

Doesn't the research you did explain a lot already? AJ owns J's North Am. site. J's racing and other Private Japanese companies only own the JP sites only. Anyone can own the American site because Japanese trademark does not extend to USA let along North America.

Look at www.spoonsport.com it goes straight to Inline four who has nothing to do with Spoon. Also the fact that J's letter Pdf document is named AJ Canada. That kind of says who it is directed to and should say something as well.

Several months back I heard from Spoon that one of AJ's unaware employee called Spoon once asking if Spoon was having things made in Taiwan now. Apparently at that time AJ just received a shipment of Spoon products all boxed and labeled "SPOON Made in Japan" from a Taiwanese return address. Spoon stated, "No, none of their products are made in Taiwan." What products were they? I don't know, but from what I heard J's Racing, who are friends with Spoon JP, were also suspicious of their products being counterfeited as well.

I wonder if that explains why a "group buy" on DC5 Spoon exhausts through AJ a few years back was really cheap. I had doubts when I saw how clean and polished the one from Opak looked. I know, I know... you get what you paid for.
