who does quality tpi work in topeka,kansas?
i've got an 89 trans am ws6 with the 305 tpi automatic. i had problems a few years back with it running poorly and wheezing when you shut it off. i took it to yinglings and it cost me a boatload for them to work on it. when i got in it it ran worse than before,and they wanted more money to look at it(i fixed the plug wires that they never reconnected when i picked it up.now its 3 years later and i would like to get it back on the road again as backup to my 94 v6 bird which has over 210k on it. anybody know of a decent shop and/or mechanic in topeka that knows the tpi system and works at a fair rate(i really dont want to take it to the dealership. any help would be greatly appreciated.

What's wrong with it exactly? I haven't heard about anyplace specializing in these cars, and I wouldn't really expect to find a mechanic that knows too much about TPI specifically. I'm not a mechanic or in Topeka (a little over an hour away) but I've been known to take poorly running (not running) late 80's early 90's fuel injected cars and make them function reliably. Depending on what problems you're having I might be able to help you out.

You might look up Trinity in Bonner Springs, KS. He does good work and is right off 32 and 7 Hwys.

Chances are if you registered in the last couple days they probably thought you were one of the 6? members who've been banned lately.
Wait a week, register a Yahoo or Hotmail address and try again. If it doesn't go through you aren't missing much.
There's also the Kansas Thirdgen forum, but I'm not sure if there's anyone from Topeka on there. It's a bit slow too, but that won't change unless people sign up and start posting. lol

Modified by KC is a sweet place. They have a decent variety of projects, but mostly focus on 4cyl and turbo stuff. Very cool setup there though with the AWD dyno and all.

true they do specialize in the import seen however I have seen vette's, T/A's, and mustang that have all come out of that shop with top notch work. Too bad I just left FT Riley area or I would come up and help with that car

yeah it doesnt run right now but it doesnt look good for finding a quality shop here in topeka. looks like im gonna have to do the dreaded and get my hands dirty on a fuel injected engine-my patience isnt good on computer controlled engines. guess id better research.
