regardless, i think that clears up the matter of when the actual letter was posted - this year, and the deadline is likely april of 2010

I disagree with your last statement. With the evidence from other forums and this forum. I truly believe that there is no typo for the date "April 22 2009."
Here are my thoughts.
1) People complaining/questioning quality of J's racing products purchased from AJR
2) J's is some how tipped off about #1 (i do not know how or what but its not relevant). J's purchases one of their own products from AJR. Product is deemed fake.
3) J's sends letter (1st letter in 1st post of this thread) to Benjamin of AJR (owner? i personally dont know). Deadline to resolve matters is April 22,
2009.
-) March 2009. "AJ-Racing actually dropped the J's Racing line as of March 2009 due to internal issues that were never resolved in the past."
4) Deadline passes. April 22.
5) AJR has a Grand Re-Opening on May 25th ish(date of thread:
http://www.revscene.net/forums/j-r-g...=grand+opening)
(Yes, I know it could just be because they wanted a bigger place (or new location, i have never been to either places.))
6) Since the deadline up until June 30, 2009. I guess fingers were pointed back and forth as to who was wrong, with no clear winner.
7) June 30, 2009. J's sends letter to AJR (2st letter in 1st post of this thread) stating they never made a special batch and that they never gave permission for anyone to replicate their products.
8) August 21, 2009. AJR representative says they requested the make of special batch J's exhaust. (Taken from s2ki forum:
http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php...=718060&st=100)
9) January 13, 2010. Letter surfaces on multiple forums and J's official website/blog. Reason for this being posted so late was maybe to see if they can work out a deal with AJR? Who knows.
What also fits into the above timeline i rushed is the numerous cases(threads) on other car forums which question the quality of the "genuine" J's products bought from AJR.
Also, the termination of AJR as an official distributor of J's Racing products.
Feel free to add to or correct my timeline. It's 2:30am and I am tired.
EDIT: after some re-reading, filled in some info in the timeline thanks to Joh (posted here:
