    its also a problem with cars that put down power through the same wheels you turn with. Although the term is torque steer, so based on 99% of the fwd cars on the market that have very little torque your correct.

    My fwd has 228.8bhp and 252lb/ft and its all good, my very small built brother in law is the only person that showed any bother, Ended up on the wrong side of the road first time he drove it lol But I do believe that if you have any kind of strength in your arms it should be no bother.

    only thing you really need to do to fix tq steer, is turn the wheel a little to the side while accellerating, and hold it, then you go straight, least that's how it was with my gsr. my brother couldnt understand the concept, in fact, my brother scares me because just about all cars in first or 2nd gear, he turns the stteering wheel allllloooooveeerrr the place in order to "keep it straight" yet when i drivet he car, i just hold the wheel in the straight position. i dont get it.

    my ride :


    even tho im supposed to be 71 (hence the name) they changed the rules and now my categories number must start with a 6 and no higher than 650
    so 617 it is then (the one behind me got a warning and changed his number befor the final so they let that one slip)
    oh and the side pods are yellow because im somewhat accident prone (on purpose most of the time) and we ran out of blue side pods
    EDIT and thats also the reason why theres only a 6 on the left side

    It is a little expensive, but if you can find some surplus from teams, you might get a good deal.
    "To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we have. Cherish it for what it truly is."

    bother or not, its not a natural thing for me. Also its unatural to run a car with fwd, when you accelerate you shift weight to the rear effectively loosing traction to the driving wheels.

    I used to anchor my arm on the door when I drove my friends sts. 300hp/300lb of torque through the front wheels. It did not like keeping straight as the engine produced massive torque on hard acceleration and would wonder around. Although he was used to it. Personally I learned to drive in a rwd, and probably will only buy rwd cars.

    I hope your going to get the fender painted to match the car.

    Thanks, its a lot of fun, it's not a speed demon, but it makes going from A to B a little more fun. I'd like to get it repainted soon but since I go to school at Ohio University it's not uncommon to come out and find something wrong with my car. So far in the past 2 years I've been hit with a couple beer bottles, had my radar detector stolen (had to be drunks because they left all my tools) and punched off my corner mirror. So, until I graduate, it's just going to keep on taking a beating.

    torque steer really isnt a huge problem on my car as it makes 280 lb/ft stock and as jagking said mazda did do a great job with the LSD and the perfect 50/50 split, although when i put that new CAI on i'll be making closer to 300 lb/ft torque steer might be a problem
    Also i love the A3, i was looking at getting one until i saw my MS3 on the showroom floor XD

    Yeah, that Golf GTI engine is quite good, nice torque curve and quite potent.
    Although i prefer the one in the TypeR Civic.
