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.

So lets get this strait.

AJR of Canada, who in the past had strong ties and importing rights with Spoon Sports and J's Racing has had two problems with these companies.

1)Receiving Spoon products, made in Japan labeled, but in fact recieved items imported from Taiwan.
2)Distributed J's labeled "remix" products that were refreshed versions of what J's had to offer (according to J's) or received and sold whatever products they were given by J's (according to AJR)

I wont be one to comment one way or another on AJR buisness ethics or the alleged accusations but if what AJR says is true, with so many importers dropping J's product lines I find that suspicious to say the least. GoTunning just held an open house with a representative from J's Racing where all seemed well.

Bulletproof shows the J's FX60 and 70RS with a two piece design.

While GoTunning shows a single piece construction.


I have heard and seen examples online of J's products with different gradient Ti finishes, with and without holes for silencers, and with and without name plates. I would be interested to hear both sides of the story, but I have my doubts about a full disclosure response from either AJ Racing or J's Racing.

Also are T1R and AJ-Racing the same company or closely affiliated?

Just from past experiences....
I've noticed some J's Products are marked, and others aren't adding to what the guy from AJR mentioned earlier.
I've bought marked J's products from AJR in the past, as well as unmarked J's products from other reputable companies in the past.

I believe T1R is AJ's in-house brand or at least it started out that way. Back when I had my EP3 and regularly visited those boards, a lot of people started confusing T1R with Spoon's Type One Racing, especially since AJ-R were exclusive importers/sellers of BOTH T1R and Spoon products at one point in time. After a little prodding, it was determined that T1R is AJ's own brand, as some of us already knew. Those T1R products have been sold by other sellers in addition to AJ-R since then. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

Of course, because you're from Canada. I already contacted AJR about a titanium EM exhaust, but they will not ship it to the US, because it is exclusive to Evasive. Makes sense.
