Larry Chen and Sung Kang’s Datsun 240Z cars featuring our Z Car Garage Big-Brakes and Z Car Garage KW coil-over suspension. Enjoy the photos from a recent photo shoot and see details about their meet April 9 in Long Beach, CA….

 

Larry: I’m so stoked to host Type-S Night Lights with Sung Kang. I called him up the other day and suggested we gather a few 240z’s for a little cruise to shoot a quick promo for the upcoming meet. We stopped for food and we ended up clearing out the entire kitchen at Inn n out 😂🤣
If you are free on April 9th come hang out with us at Night Lights in Long Beach. You won’t be disappointed. Plus we will have night drifting for the first time and Sung will be showing the first 7 minutes of the Drifter Movie🍿. We will also be doing a Q&A session.
It starts at 6pm and the address is 99 Aquarium Way, Long Beach California. All cars are welcomed. It’s free to enter for a show car or spectator. There’s plenty of parking for non- show cars or overflow across the street at The Pike.
