Ben the owner of AJ Racing is the same owner of T1R (TypeOneRacing).

Type One is the Speed shop/Tuner shop in Japan where Spoon Sports products are installed for customers and also where the Spoon Race cars are built.

As for GoTuning, they are an authorized distributor for J's racing like others here in the states. There is no single whole seller for J's racing in North America.

Wow this thread is beginning to confuse me so retailers are mistaking selling counterfeit parts without their acknowledgement?

I was unaware that T1R and A-J's was owned by the same person.

Thank you for the info.

Sorta like hearing there is no Santa Claus
But I thought Santa Claus was imported from Japan where it is called Santa Clause. In Canada they have exclusive rights to Papi Clauseaux who is actually owned by the same person who distributes gifts in the US under the Santa Claus brand.

I just heard that Murakami-san, J's managing director, found the warehouse in Taiwan where these replica J's parts are being made. Apparently he traveled to Taiwan and located the place first hand.

Is this company a sponsor of S2Ki, cause they sure are getting a lot of free advertising.

"I just heard" is the start of many rumors and BS. What you are implying is that J's outsources thier products to Taiwan to be produced with cheaper labour.

We need facts and we haven't seen much of that yet.
I'm just stating that one of J's USA distributors was called by Murakami-san while in Taiwan. He told his vendor that he had found out where these J's replica's were being made.

I don't see how my statement prior implied J's outsources to Taiwan. Why would J's be looking for a company in Taiwan if that was the case?
