if AJR was receiving shipments from J's with products that weren't branded, shouldn't it be AJR's responsibility to question J's about this? why continue selling a product if you're not even sure why the supplier is changing the product without notification?

AJR is a jer

C-unit · 01-14-2010, 01:08 AM

^ exactly.

Also they never explain why J's racing is having that letter on their site. AJR just keep avoiding to answer the question directly about why J's is having a letter like that.
Super fishy if you ask me.

AJR is a jer

that's pretty common, Spoon sports's older gen products like duckbill spoilers does not have any logo or badges on them.

The response is leading us somewhere else. The point is not the fact that they did not have logos or badges on it, but that some of the actual products that AJ Racing distributes are fake and made somewhere else.

glad didnt buy their over priced shit, or from their affiliates.

thumbs down for scammers

Lol. Poor little employee is being used as the sacrificial lamb.

Not surprising that this didn't end up on RS for a while.
Those who don't own Hondas, don't care about AJR. Those who do, probably have one of these fake parts and don't want to admit it since they paid a premium for fake JDM shit.

We have responded to previous posts and we have already told our side of the story. Anyways, for those who found this thread new and interesting, I will post our side of the story again and I will keep this simple.

Firstly, the parts we sold were supplied by J's Racing. Ever since day one when we imported the products, over 50% of the products we received did not have logos, originally packaging, catalogs or even stickers. I can speak for myself as well as AJR since I was the one who had packaged some of these products. We have been challenged by customers who had purchased these parts from us in the past saying these products were kind of sketch. There was nothing we could do if the products came to us in that condition.

Secondly, J's stated they had never made any "special edition" products like USDM versions, this was not true. There were numberous products made such as, USDM Grills, lip spoiler (GD3,FG2), GT wings (FG2)....etc. that's false info. Maybe if you got nothing to do you can run a search and you will find them.

Thirdly, there are many waranty issues, quality issues, fitment issues and missing components with the parts...............etc. JUST SEARCH on any Honda forums, you will find them. Broken or defected products never been replaced nor warranteed by the manufacturer. Those waranteed products were covered by AJR itself by paying out of it's own pocket.

Fourthly, J's Racing claimed that AJR has been selling knock off J's Racing products. Well, if the supplier supplied their products with no packaging, stickers or badgings, and denying the authenticy, what should we do??? Now this situation ended up like this.

I have been working at AJR since 2008 and I have not seen a single knock off branded product while I was doing all AJR's inventory and shipping work back at that time. I am not trying to defend the company that I work for since I can just simply pack and go without giving a damn, BUT if AJR has to be bad mouthed for no reason, I think I have to stand up for it.

Once last thing regarding to Mr. J's letter, if everything is true, AJR should have closed down and wait to get sued instead of kept up and running.

Regards,

Jason @ AJR

found this reply on fitfreak.net
one thing i want to bring out is that EVERYTHING IS MADE IN CHINA !
i am not saying they did or not, but IF they did sell fake J's parts....it would prob be made in the same factory as the REAL j's parts.

TOS'd · 01-14-2010, 03:03 AM

^ fake is fake. doesnt matter if its made in the same factory.

hk20000 · 01-14-2010, 03:26 AM

J's Racing don't send stuff out to China... They are too small-time for that actually.

Spoon, however....? Naaaw I'll leave that to you.

Benz_05TSX · 01-14-2010, 03:30 AM

no shit

just look at the people that are working in there. I went in there to take a look at a seat, and that dood barely spoke any english. While the guys in the garage that was working on cars was blasting loud honger music, puffing a cig and talking loudly in canto with this buddy.

after that time, i never went back and saw that place as a joke, and the people that worked and ran it.

wow.... its funny how there are AJ Racing fans who are trying to call BS even after the fact that its on J Racings website

and that Guinness guy on fitfreak (looks like he's a local too) is basically calling BS AND saying "so what? they(AJR) have great customer service.... lol no shit they're going to treat you nice.... they're taking you for a ride anyways..

From that site... (AJ Pwr Jr. is supposedly AJR) the quote from TekXoid just makes sense

* They claim "Genuine" when their "version" does not have any manufacturer stamp or anything that would provide credibility that it was made by J's. J's has never done that with any of their products. If that's not enough, ask yourself why would the silencer mounting hole be removed and overall weld quality look so much worse?

Plus we never claimed ourselves as "OFFICIAL".

All the products we supplied were all genuine and if you have any issue with any products we sold, please contact us at sales@aj-racing.com

Regards,
Ben

as to all the other responses from AJR stating that many products from J's Racing came without logos etc... it almost sounds like they're saying the product that JsRacing bought to test for authenticity IS a Js Racing Product (one of the ones that came with no logos, etc)

edit: final note Reading the threads from these other forums makes me appreciate the fobs on RS more... their engrish isnt anywhere near as bad as those other sites

willcls · 01-14-2010, 07:36 AM

so J's racing side of the story is that ajr made a copy and selling it as legit.
ajr saying they got it like that from J's...
I work in manufacturing and i have to tell you guys it would be very unusual for J's to make a "special batch" just for ajr. when u manufacture a product there is usually a high level of automation or assembly line and every product should be identical to the rest. why would j"s make ones that are a couple millimeters smaller and without titanium burn marks and no logo. it would actually cost them more to change the design halfway thru production just to make a "special batch"
talk about flushing your reputation down the toilet

vo_hantu · 01-14-2010, 07:37 AM

Phew luckily I didn't buy any J's Racing products, but I do own a couple T1R products. Those T1R products are performing at the track and showing gains so I am happy for now.

Off-topics, but for those that are worried about authentics parts (this could save you your hard earned cheque).
Guys if you want to buy genuwine, authentic parts I deal with my buddies in the states http://www.bulletproofautomotive.com/

These guys are the real deal with a personal shipping container from JPN->US...the owners/buddies are even in Japan at the Amuse/ASM shop as we speak...

One of many proofs, cuz I'm sure everyone is uncertain at one point in time spending $$$

Timpo · 01-14-2010, 07:44 AM

apparently that's what happens to a lot of kingsway dealership.

I would thread carefully. The post is about AJ racing and it's relationship with J's Racing. No one asked where/which shops to use to get authentic goods. I understand that may be trying to help but to be honest, no one gives a flying monkey ass about bulletproofperformance whether or not their "legit".

vo_hantu · 01-14-2010, 08:01 AM

Alright, well I'm not going to edit it cuz you quoted it for me haha.

You can delete if you want, I don't care.

yay thank god i didn't buy shit from them!
LOL maybe his GTR is just a big body kit on like a VW beetle or something HAHAHA
vvvrrrrrroooooooooom!

hahaha... Rich hongers scaming rich hongers , interesting

Jsunu · 01-14-2010, 08:44 AM

Oh man this is ridicucrunkulous!

But seriously though, even if they were receiving 'fake' parts for J's themselves (which i highly doubt but for the sake of argument they were) why would they continue to sell them as genuine and at full price??!? If anything, this will further discredit the shop as they will simply sell knock offs to customers regardless of the quality and just play dumb.

Just remember, they didn't DENY the fact that knockoffs were sold, they just blamed J's for it.
