I still have the black '88 325is in my sig. Unfortunately, I've only made it to one event this year due to being ass-deep in renovating the g/f's house. Plus, it doesn't help that every time I take the car to an event, it seems to come back broken. :( Before this car I ran my '03 TDi wagon and a (now sold) white '07 MINI Cooper convertible in H-Stock.
I'm hoping to make it to more events next year.
Great video example. I've been trying to shuffle-steer more during my normal daily driving, but the rack in the VW is so much faster so I'm not sure how much it'll hep me in the E30. Still, I figure just getting into the habit should help some. Hopefully when the weather cools down a bit I'll drive the E30 to work more often (I think I've driven it maybe 300 miles this year). :down:'88 325is: Diamond Schwartz; 210K miles; Koni SA; H&R springs; poly bushings (sold)

every day we shufflin. yea good example vid, Its definitly a good autocross technique I use as well. I find my hands coming off the wheel a tad more just because I like oversteering, even though I know its better to shuffle. Here's an old vid of mine http://youtu.be/tq8TWh-CmKc would you have done anything different at the 1 minute mark when my back end started to come out (I was running a welded diff at the time :)

That's about what I would have done with it.
Personally I'm not a hug fan of shuffle steering, but you really don't have a lot of choice with our cars. I'm planning on swapping in an E36 rack over the winter to help out with that. Lol every time I jump in someone else's car for a fun run, I damn near knock over the first couple of cones because the turn-in is so much sharper.
