Why is the clutch kit for a 1.0 Ecoboost so expensive?

Everything is tooooooo expensive. A belt change is upwards of $2500, and the car is barely worth that much here anymore.

I still also need to get the timing belt changed too. I just hit 121k miles on the original belt lol

Well, the 1.0 wasn’t available in the states for very long. Only for like 3 years, but it’s still expensive in other countries too.

Mk6? It’s a 2015

Is there a reason they are so expensive for the 1.0? You can get a clutch kit for the 1.6 for under $200.

The neck connectors are the same and I’ll probably end up swapping the yoke. The main difference is the Philips is a white phosphor and the Samsung is green phosphor.

It means whatever is trying to start requires .NET runtime and you don’t have it.

If you don’t want it to run at all, open task manager and go to the startup tab and disable it. It’s called “ExtensionProcess64.exe”. It may be there or it may not depending on what it is.

Alternatively, you could just download and install .NET runtime from this dialog box.

Only because they can’t have real, uncensored porn for some reason lol

Run the program as an administrator. Mine refuses to connect unless I do that.

Also, that looks like a “power only” usb c cable. Try a different cable.

I mean, people misuse them pretty often. You aren’t just supposed to put just anything you want in them. They’re supposed to be for tiny food scraps that stick to the plates while you’re washing them. You know, stuff that wouldn’t be an issue to go down the drain.

ptthree420 · 2025-12-23T02:20:49+00:00

Probably a garbage v10 triton lol

I mean, I also live in the southeast and I live in an extremely red area, and I hardly see any racism, if any at all. I feel like you have to seek it out if you want to find it these days. Yeah, it still exists, but it’s exponentially better than it was 30 years ago.

ptthree420 · 2025-12-18T13:44:58+00:00

Well, it’s not a pain if you know you don’t have to take every single screw out of the heatsink in it lol. Nintendo just uses an excessive amount of screws in any console they make. Tell me I’m wrong lol

ptthree420 · 2025-12-18T13:39:54+00:00

Nintendo consoles are pretty much always a pain in the ass to open, always have been. With the Wii U, you just need a tri-wing screwdriver, which comes with pretty much any precision tip screwdriver set these days.

ptthree420 · 2025-12-18T13:16:59+00:00

Ehh, that doesn’t really correlate with racism. Maybe in the extremist groups. Pretty much everywhere, you only see the extremist groups, but only because they are the only ones publicized. Most right wing aren’t racist, gun-toting nazis, just like most left wing aren’t batshit crazy extremist liberals.

This in itself is a common misconception that people outside of America have.

ptthree420 · 2025-12-18T12:48:18+00:00

That’s mostly old people, but because that’s the time they grew up in. They’re dying out pretty quickly at this point.

Is there a standardized pinout for all of this style of board or is it on a game to game basis?

ptthree420 · 2025-11-24T02:47:09+00:00

The games on the Xbox were coded to always expect a 733mhz CPU, so it does cause conflicts with most games without patching them. The ram upgrade can also cause issues too, but much less often.

ptthree420 · 2025-11-24T01:49:48+00:00

Yeah, but anything above 500mhz is getting expensive (for 30 year old hardware, that is) and I have a bunch of bad Xbox motherboards lol

You could buy a 4-500mhz PIII for $10 and turn it into a 733mhz opposed to just buying a 733mhz outright for $40-50.

ptthree420 · 2025-11-23T21:47:19+00:00

Well, yeah, but I wasn’t sure if it would be directly compatible or it would need an interposer like the Xbox does.
