opps I mean Ultra racing

When I floor my car to vtec, on safe roads of course, the steering wheel starts to pull left and right, its a scary feeling lol i'm currently running wheels with some tyres with about 30% thread left on the fronts. Figured i'd just wear it out abit then swap over new ones. Now these wheels are not balanced, no weights on them. Could this pulling be caused by an unbalanced wheel or is it an alignment issue?

Check your wheel nuts are tight.

Combination of torque steer and LSD in the front too. If you haven't driven a FF with LSD before it will take some getting used to.

LSD might be worn out

I've got 140iish KW at the wheels and broken 3 mounts hit'n it hard at the creek and I get no torque steer

Could be tyres or wheel balance

Alignment and control arm bushes are probably stuffed which will increase the torque steer effect...

yea, just strange that i've never had this torque steering (what torque? lol) effect when i was using oem wheels with newer tyres on. Guess i'll just swap the fronts with new tyres and balancing and see what happens. Alignment was done about 5000kms ago

are the current wheels worn on the inside edge more than the outer?

I havent driven an FF before with an LSD just my old Gsi teg, can you explain how the feel of the LSD is?
I feel it kinda like pulling from one side to next when turning and accelerating.

The LSD doing its job can feel like that when turning etc as its feeding power to the wheel that has the most traction, which could change as you go.

It could also be dodgy bushes, or some other suspension issue,I guess it depends on the severity of the issue, can't be any harm in having it checked out at least though.
