I heard from a well known person in the industry that T1R used to be made in Thailand. Don't quote me on this, I have no idea at all. My point being. I was on this website: http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/..._Titanium.html
If you take a look, it looks pretty darn close to the special batch AJ is selling. You be the judge.

Please explain to us how things are "already settled"?
You know, this isn't just a case of a few disgruntled customers here and there who got inferior product. AJR sells a lot of stuff, and manufacturers don't make "special batches" in small quantities - the setup costs are prohibitive.
AJR has sold knock offs in the hundreds (more likely thousands) of units which means they committed a very large fraud and are criminals, plain and simple. And what makes people think the only time they've done this is with J's racing? Once a thief, always a thief. What's to stop a greedy crook from doing this with other products as well?
I thought I read that the AJR owner drives a GT-R. Well, he's paid for that GT-R by defrauding people of money selling knock offs at brand name prices. Wonder if anyone has thought of this and what they'd do next time they see him in his GT-R?  | |

they got removed as sponsor on 8thcivic as well  Quote:
AJR has been removed as a vendor on the site. From the information I have received over the last week, they are no longer setup as a sponsor.
There are threads on other forums, showing customers receiving J's products, and posting pictures of the items online. Numerous individuals disputed the item as being a product of J's Racing. Quality concerns were brought up, and others determined the product was not even produced by J's (not in their catalog/or online). Upon further investigation, J's Racing was notified of the thread and photographs. A person from J's investigated the issue, and the customer stated AJ-R sold him the parts.
Individuals from J's claim no fg2 body parts were ever created. These were pure fabrications, like the other parts mentioned above (labeled, and sold as J's Racing parts). I am not going to make claims that, "AJ-R never sold a real J's part to a customer". AJ-R claimed they had removed all J's items as of April of 09. As stated earlier in this thread, I found a J's Racing item for sale on the first page of their website.
There are threads on Fitfreak, claiming a fake J's muffler was received from AJ-R (by a customer). The customer complained, and received a replacement J's Racing muffler in return. There are threads on s2000, H-T, fitfreak, and others showing similar problems, and claims of spoon replicas.
Unfortunately, further information cannot be posted publicly around this situation. Trust in the staff, that this decision was not made purely from the information posted above.

To be honest though. i have some T1R stuff on my car and i never had any problems with them. I think they are best bang for the buck compare to J's stuff. I mean i have J's stuff and they just wont fit properly and they are real J's too. I don't think AJ sells fake J's stuff will effect me from giving my cars to them, But this is just my opinion.

seems like this was an old issue that was resolved but sprung back up for entertainment.
