Dr. Tweak is partially right.. I have noticed an apparent torque steer.. but.. however for me it goes in both directions.. not just to the left. When I get on the throttle in a low gear like 2/3rd.. The front end has a tendency to go all over the road.. to the left.. the right.. the steering gets real loose and flighty.. heh. I'm starting to wonder if I don't have a locking diff though over a limited slip. Reasons being is when I turn a wheel the other turns in the same direction.. even when I just had axles in the trans.. um another thing is if I turn the wheel while stopped to make a hard turn.. I'm not talking about full lock either.. just anything more than a slight turn of the wheel.. I'll need to slip the clutch a lot more or else the front end bucks around and gives me trouble.. and I've checked into every possible reason for it and found nothing.. other than the idea that i may actually have a locking diff.. would explain it.. differential isn't slipping.. so I have one wheel pulling more in the turn than the other wheel..

Another thing to add is the handling is much much better.. if I'm going through a tight turn.. instead of slowing down to hold traction I give it some gas.. that front end just sucks me through the turn.. and I've taken some wicked hard turns intentionally trying to get the car to slide out and no dice..

Oh and I'd consider myself to have a high power FWD vehicle.. dyno at 287whp at just over 290ft/lb.. if only I had some fuel upgrades.. I'd be well over 300 ah well.. this can be scary enough.. can't say how many times I've nearly crashed because of the steering getting all loose and pulling all over the road.

I'll bet you have an E153 with the MR2 LSD, don't you?

I'll bet that you are right. 95 JDM MR2 LSD.. was odd.. I had to trim ugh.. I forget how much exactly.. 1/8" or 1/4"... off of the driver side inner stub for the snap ring to lock into the differential.. On the inside of the diff there is no bar either.. it's a solid wall with one.. probably 1/4" hole in the center of it.
