Greg, I feel that you have always given us a quality product at a fair price with consistent on-time delivery. That is why we choose to run Inland Empire driveshafts. Keep up the good work!

I have perhaps one of the most demanding applications a driveline must endure – the instantaneous torque of an electric motor loaded in direct drive fashion (no flywheel or tranny needed) in a rear drive, street legal electric drag car. Known as the White Zombie, my electrified ’72 Datsun1200 sedan dispatches 0-60 in just 2.9 seconds and runs 11.4 in the ¼ mile. It’s series wound DC motor generates 772 ft. lbs of torque at 0 rpm!
Before acquiring the light weight, but heavy duty aluminum driveshaft built by Inland Empire, we went through numerous drivelines that simply couldn’t hold up to this torture. The Inland Empire driveshaft however, has taken this amount of instant twist for several years now without any problems. It slides onto the splined output shaft of the electric motor and terminates at the input flange of a Strange aluminum Ford 9 inch fitted with 3:70 gears, a Detroit Locker and Dutchmen Motorsports 31 spline axles turning sticky drag radials.
Thanks to the good folks at Inland Empire for building a bulletproof driveline that my electric car can’t destroy!

Greg or Robert,
Greg I met you at the OKC show and we talked about the bearing going out on me. I was going to send this a long time ago and I have been going 90 mph all year. Sorry I took so long. You guys are tops with me and the new bearing is a real plus. I put it in the 60 here and she has been everywhere. All is well now. Thanks a bunch…..

To Lee Watson and Greg Frick,
As you both know, I destroyed my driveline out in Bonneville last year. We had a bad year then, breaking everything on the car but the record. We came back this year with a lot more success. The 1946 car got into impound three times, broke the record two times and I got inducted in the coveted 200 MPH Club. We managed to set the record in the D/BSTR class at 216.979 thanks to that great Inland Empire Driveline. You and your people are a great service and product organization. Thanks again,

Hey Robert -- I got the shaft and it is awesome! Fits like a glove and it's beautiful. Well packaged, etc. My hat's off to you guys! I stopped by the Inland booth at the Street Rod Nationals and told the lady how helpful you were. Your work is high quality. The polished aluminum shaft I received is more finely finished than I expected, and the clear powder-coating should keep it looking great a long time. I'm very pleased.
Thank you!

Robert, it was nice finally talking to you. Thanks for your patience on this, so we settled on a Yoke first, then we do the drive shaft.
For what its worth once I decided I HAD to buy a yoke (mine is trashed), I realized I could have found the yoke somewhere and saved maybe 20 bucks. Why didn't I do that, saving money is good?
The service and response you have provided is far beyond what I expected and what I usually get from other companies. Call it customer loyalty, but that's what keeps me with a brand or company. Saving money is good, but when I get support and speedy responses/ advice from you, like I have, its well worth the 20 bucks knowing my purchase is (a) matched to your drive shaft, (b) backed by the support.
Thank you.

I just installed the new drive shaft I ordered and the difference is night and day. It was installed in a car I have owned for over 10 years so I know how fast I am going by the feel of the car and now that will no longer work it as it drives so smooth, I was going over 80 mph without knowing it before I looked at the speedometer. The car has always had a little vibration but I always assumed it was the nature of a 40+ year old car but that is not the case. I now wish I broke the u-joint sooner so I could have installed your drive shaft sooner. Thank you for making such an amazing product, you can be assured I will use you again in future and recommend you to everyone.

I just wanted you to know that when I placed this order, I very carefully measured according to your instructions, and provided all other information as requested. As a result, when the driveshaft arrived today, I tried to install it. It fits perfectly. Nice job, well done. Thanks.
