A 1.4 8v will not have torque steer, check the tracking

You would be suprised mate, I get the same feeling on mine, but its ussually to do with bad road camber and the very low peak torque of the engine, quiet fun tho! Always seems to go to the left and yes the tracking and wheel balencing are ok

aye, i get this on my 1.2...i know  but its only in some places i go, but its usually when i boot the fucks outta the car in 2 on a sharp turn and like venables said, it pulls to the left (even though tracking etc is fine). But like i said, its rare i get this (no shite there ) and theres only one roundabout near me where i can pull this off abit, but thats because its a tight turn etc

trust me.... it isnt...
That will just be your car following the road. Are you running wider wheels?

yes the offset plays a big role, my offset is slightly big (i think) and heavy braking or accelerating causes the car to pull to one side, bit dangerous really.

mine always used to pull to the left when floored in 1st & 2nd...
wasnt the road either, even did it on an old disused runway near me.
it's not overly powerful mind, its only slight, but the more out the tracking, camber, of with a fcuked dif, it will go bad style.

good example of this... bit extreme but  .....
700 bhp MR2 on sunday could not keep straight... it had a knacked bush on onew rear... making the car very unstable under acceleration.
I have a vid of a bit of torque steer in my 2.0 corsa..... mainly in 2nd gear
