Default crazy steering problem

okay i just took delivery on my 90 crx si with a b16a1 and a few assorted mods. well i took it out for a spin and under heavy accelerations the car pulls left to right pretty hard. anyone have an explanation as to what it could be? there is no power steering.

also while we are at it, is there a way to get a SIR guage that reads up higher in the rpm range while retaining the stock mph instead of kmph setup.

torque steer and just try replacing the kmh gauge face with your mph face

Theres a chance it could be one or both of your outer tie-rod ends, I know that my pass. side is going out and it likes to pull to the right. Id probably replace both of them first(unless previous owner did this). As for the instrument cluster, Ive heard about the UK instrument cluster, which is mph and has a 9G tach, and supposedly hooks up fine. Anyone else hear of this too?

i'm taking the car in to get it checked out today and hopefully they will be able to diagnose this. i'll probably end up just swapping out the gauge faces.

well it's the tire rods. both sides are gone the wheels will tilt in and out easily as a result.
