1992 'Annivesary' Subaru Brumby, amp-6x9"'s-kevlar 6"'s-tweeters, power windows, and a 1995 WRX EJ20t engine finally installed, engineered and blue slipped. Wow, try and catch me up the mountain!

Hehehe... I got a laugh from it!Jeff wrote:Very funny Rick. I thought it maybe an adjustment problem or is it time to see if impreza or lib window motors fit
Sunnie's windows are slow on the driver's side and what I'd expect as the normal speed on the passenger's side. I'd love to know if the lib or impreza motors fit. The issue may not be the motor though, it could be worn tracks and guides from the driver having the windown wound up and down the most in the subi.

Yep -> My brumby electric window install write up - Matt's brumby electric window install write upsteptoe wrote:that was MY touring wagot electrics was it ?
They're pretty much the same, except I did my secondary arm guide a little differently... And if you use the Touring wagon electric window wiring loom + console and switches you'll retain the auto up and down funtion, its a good one to have

Cheers

I've got them too and they're slow as well. The drivers side has trouble getting up and I have to help it most of the time. I was going to try replacing the motor, but trying to get the assembly out of the door is a real pain in the ass.

That's right. It is the power supply/wiring. You lose a lot through the old wiring, switching/relays etc. Hook up a direct 12v to the up side and see how fast they go. You will be surprised. It is one thing I was going to do to the red ute but sold it before I got around to it.I will find that its probably not the motor, but the electricity.

It wouldn't hurt to overhaul the motors, too. I don't know what kind of motor they are (but I would like to know as I'd be putting power windows in my brumby when I get it), but it shouldn't be too hard to overhaul - as long as you remember where all the bits go when you put them back together!
Living in Canada now. Looking at all these SVXs for sale...

I'll have a go at doing that, shouldn't be too hard to work out the wiring for it.
