I live in the UK and ordered this kit last month.
The kit arrived safe and sound. I've now completed the installation.

Last Saturday was made up of -
morning - fit NEW window motor to Drivers side.
afternoon - fit Autotrix Kit to Passenger window (original 50,000 mile motor).

The kit was straight forward to install, the instructions are very clear (plenty of illustrations as well). Wiring modifications are carried out, basically, with a pair of wire cutters and crimping pliers.

Now my old 50,000 mile passenger window motor is just as fast as my brand new driver side motor.

Even paying a bit extra for shipping and handling to the UK, the cost of the kit is well worth the money.

Pull the black cover to the side just long enough to pull the wire through. Route new leads into door panel switch location, cut as necessary. Make all electrical connections and store relays and connections under the switch. (step13 picture 2)
Hope this helps!

Maybe you just got a bad relay or something? Call him up and see. Obviously you got power if the window works. But I don't know what else it could be if it stayed the same speed.

There are TWO brown wires on the back of the window switch - have you spliced into the correct one?

I have had this kit sitting around for awhile now but I finally got it installed today. Took longer to take everything apart than to actually wire it up. I must say that I am happy with it. My window before the kit was slow as molasses but now works faster than the driver side which was changed once already. BTW this is the original passenger side window motor in my 98 Camaro

Most likely will release this along with an express down option for the passenger side, maybe within a month or so- given that the prototypes have no problems!
