Originally posted by Charlie View PostAutocross is the best place to start out at. Excellent for learning car control, low speed enough that you're not going to screw anything up when you lose it. From there it's track days.
A good DVD I found is Skippy B's:
Any of the book by Ross Bentley are also excellent.

thanks to those that didn't assume I wanted to show off to my friends and look cool in my "bIMmErzZ", and actually posted useful comments. i wasn't calling everyone a dick, and I apologize that I was unclear about that.
I just want to be a better driver and have more fun while driving.1985 325e

Go buy "Dirft Bible" ... make sure to attempt things like dynamic drifts, and feint drifts your first time out like everyone does after playing video games.
also play video games like "tokyo extreme racer:zero" to learn high speed manuevering.
Both of these options are affordable and sound PERFECT for your situation. :p

Make sure your car is in good mechanical condition, from tires, to brakes to cooling to safety (seats/belts) and nothing is loose.
Rent a helmet, pay your $25-35 fee and have fun.
Once you do this a couple of times, look into local HPDE events. You'll be provided with instructor, lunch, instructions and about 2-3 solid hours of driving in a safe environment. Your car will need to pass tech. inspection before you'll be allowed to attend.Mtech1 v8 build thread - https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=413205

I will add to read about vehicle dynamics. Learn as much as you can about handle and how cars react to different situations. Basically, the learn the mechanics of handling before trying anything.

Well even though autocrossing is low speed and meant to be as safe as possible, it is still racing and shit can happen.
Try to talk to the other drivers and ask for tips and stuff, most of the guys I meet are really friendly and always willing to talk technique.
I started autocrossing after having my e30 for about 4.5 years so I already had a pretty good feel for my car, its a good place to really push the limit. And beating evo's/sti's/elises/ferraris in your e30 becomes fun...
Until you lose to a busted old crx or hatchback (or maybe even a pink miata)
Next month I'm hunting an ariel atom that someone local supposedly bought :evil:
