Can I ask how you came to query this? I'm just picturing you getting in the Wed Wocket at the service centre, looking at the invoice again and slamming your fist on the dash in disgust ... only to find either the superball or the dash falling apart ... you weren't clear on which of these (or both!) you are experiencing ...

Hey Buddha,

Mine actually bounces like a superball. I stopped at Toyota at Strathpine today and he said it was normal, until I asked him to try it on another Corolla and Wahla, nada....

I wasn't banging the dash due to the bill, it was more to the doof doof....

Mine seems to sit pretty firmly and my car has almost 100,000 Km's on clock.

There is a little bit of movement but diffently no bounce.

it will be voltage related as the instrument consoles are 100% electronic so its proll getting power spikes/or lack of power hence the needle is "bouncing"

You know when you play "doof doof" music backwards, it comes out as "food food" music? :lol:

Sorry, I couldn't give you more assistance with your query, so some lame humour will have to do! :D

Possible, but likely? Maybe the speedo needle is just loose on the spindle and moves when the dash fascia is tapped.

In any case, I'd get them to fix or replace ASAP or else they may be liable for your inaccurate speedo-related speeding fines !!

i would be VERY surpirsed if the needle was loose, i have taken my needles off and it took some effort to get them off they are on tight, i have noticed a 1.5-2V drop even with the stock stereo so the only way to tell would be to break out the multi-meter and some loud music..., that said Oz is right the instrument clusters go for about $1500-$2000 as a spare part from toyota so its not somthing that you want to have to replace some time down the track

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
