Can you fit a Kymco ZX50 Scooter moped into a Starlet?

 Scooter Kymco ZX 50 inside Starlet?

Yes, you can!

So I just bought this moped, a Kymco Super Fever 1 ZX 50 from a girl living in Saltarö (about 150 km from my home), close to Stockholms archipelago.

Bought as a project, pretty cheap. She said the throttle wire broke and that it had been standing a couple of years since.

I was a bit worried that it wouldn't fit in the Starlet but it did!

Unfortunatly it turned out that the tank cap was missing and some 2-stroke oil leaked into the car. However I had put some heavy duty cardboard under so no harm done really. Smell a bit fuel though.

Front tire has cracks in it, and there is much dirt and oil under the seat bucket.

I could even close the trunk cover!

Here are some pictures.

Passenger chair folded as far as possible in the front.

It might look stolen in the pictures but those locks are mine! I had to leave it in the car overnight since got home real late.

Side and under covers got some cracks in the handling unfortunatly though, so use a trailer if you have it. :-)

Shell Rotella T5 oil, zinc in the oil better?

 Zinc in the oil better for longevity?

Found in the comment section of Speedcar99 Youtubechannel:

"shell rotella t5 15w40.  still has lots of calcium and zinc in it to protect the engine.  they pulled the zinc out of t6 under 1000 ppm.  no zinc no long lasting engine."


But might wear a little more on the catalytic converter?
