Joshua Steele and His Noble Steed
Its everyones dream to be talented at different kind of sports or whatever makes you feel accomplished in life. By day Joshua is the owner of NEVRSLO Motorsports which is a full performance shop where you can get a simple lift kit all the way to a fully built drift car as seen here. On certain weekends throughout the year you can find him shredding tires with the local pro-am drivers in the Lone Star Drift Series by Fabricated Motorsports or with the big boys in the Formula Drift Series.

First thing you probably noticed it the crazy sticker colors and zebra and checker print on the car, the way this car looks represents Joshua’s style “down to the tee”. The wheels are powder coated lime green Gram Light 57DR’s in 18×10.5 +15 wrapped in Kenda Kaiser KR20 265/35/18 tires. The footwork on this S14 is all Battle Version arms, with Sikky sway bars and a set of BC Racing Coilovers to allow to him dial in his car perfectly for every track that he will slide on this year..
Insert Generic Dat Ass comment.. Anyways The rear end of Joshua’s S14 consists of Rocket Bunny Wing, DMAX Taillights, and an AIT Rear bumper..
Behind the AIT front bumper is all the necessary to keep this hot race car cool such as Mishimoto Radiator, Oil cooler and Power steering cooler..
In Formula Drift we will always have the constant battle on V8’s vs. Turbo, Joshua choose to go the V8 route because its a tried and proven route. Some of the mods that can be found in the motor are wiseco pistons, Trick Flow Push Rods, Melling High Volume Oil Pump, Sikky High Volume Oil Pan, ACL Polydyne Bearings, Built Heads, 92mm Big Mouth Throttle Body, Custom Cam, and Fast Intake. The most important mod was the cheetah print valve covers all this created around 500hp to the wheels..
The interior setup on Josh’s S14 is super simple and straight forward, there’s no need to have a bunch of excess non sense in the cockpit. Joshua is rocking a whole set of Sparco goodies such as Sparco Sprint 5 Seats, Sparco 6 Point Cam lock Belts, and Sparco 323 Steering Wheel. Along with all the Sparco equipment he has a 10 Point FD Legal Cage and DJ Safety Fire Suppression System to keep him safe during all accidents.
Every race car needs “Get Some”, “Poison”, and “LULZ” on their switch panel, its mandatory
One of the many tools to help Joshua drift is his ASD Hydro E-Brake, easily one of the most important parts in his cockpit. This is connected to a second set of Z32 brakes in the back which allows him to lock the rear wheels up at a moments notice to help initiate and control his drifts..
As you can see from this picture Joshua had a some personal time with the wall at Long Beach
