Dear Ben Leung
First of all, it is almost 9 years since we, J’s Racing, started a business
relationship with your company in 2002. We fully acknowledge that your sales
& marketing have made the current J’s Racing popular status in the North America
and we deeply thank you for that.
Unfortunately we have to present you a rather unpleasant notice today. We recently
learned that in spite of your status of an official distributor of J’s Racing, you
have been copying J’s Racing products in a factory abroad and selling the products
as the genuine J’s Racing merchandise.
In order to verify the information and to get the clear evidence we actually purchased
a product from you for an inspection. Regrettably we found that you not only copied the
product but also copied our packing tape and box to make the product look exactly like a
genuine J’s Racing product.
Now that we have a proof and we consider your conduct as a criminal offense, we no longer
can maintain the current business relationship with you. We have already consulted an
attorney in the British Columbia and we are ready to take strong legal actions if necessary.
We strongly feel that an official distributor should be the one policing the copied or
knockoff products. It is outrageous that an official distributor itself sells a copied
product as a genuine one. This is an inexcusable conduct even from the social point of
view and we will not forgive this kind of crime.
Regarding this matter, we are considering the number of actions. We will give you one
chance of providing us a sincere response and coming up with an offer for a monetary
Our actions include but are not limited to
1) Termination of the distributor status
2) A legal action to demand accounting information on the quantity of the copied products
produced and to demand a definite proof for destroying the copied products.
3) Bringing a criminal charges against A&J Racing
4) Disclosure of the issue on our website using your company’s name
5) Disclosure of the issue on the several forums in the world using your company’s name

6) Notification of the issue to all the manufacturers J’s Racing has business relationship with
7) Notification of the issue to all the companies J’s Racing has traded with
8) Notification of the issue to all the magazine publishing companies A&J Racing has relationship with
9) Notification of the issue to your father, Anthony
Those actions will inflict serious damages to your company.
In the business world, the trust is the most important. It is very regrettable you have lost our trust.
We will be waiting for your sincere response and a specific compensation offer.
The deadline is April 22, 2009.

AJ-Racing selling fake J's products?
I posted this in the feedback section as it FitFreak.net uses AJR as a forum sponsor so it directly concerns them as well.
Sorry, but can somebody explain this please, I have personally bought J's racing products from AJR and I want to know ASAP if there is any kind of truth to this.

Somebody want to get in contact with J's to verify this.
We need to start a new thread to start getting the names of people who have bought J's products from AJR. There should be a few guys in Vancouver who know a lawyer who can get the ball rolling on a class action law suit to get our money back for fake products.
FitFreak administration needs to be involved here too, get them off this website if they are marketing and selling fake products.
I would still like to hear what AJ-Racing has to say from a corporate standpoint on the issue though

i have bought real, and fake j's products from aj racing. the thing that pissed me off the most tho is that i bought a fidanza flywheel from aj racing, i didnt use it and i ended up selling it. turns out it was a flywheel for a hyundai tiburon repackaged into the fit flywheel box and the person i resold it to had to find that out the hard way. made me look bad and made it for sure that i wouldnt spend any more money at aj racing.

because when i confronted them about the fake muffler, they sent me a real one because i had spent so much money there, that if they wanted to keep my business, then they were going to send me a real one or i was going to post a thread like this.

I have spent upwards of 4000$ on products from them over the years, I am absolutely fucking outraged right now. I really hope there is a good explanation for what is going on.
