    Ive got absolutely no power what-soever when i boot it below 3k revs as soon as it goes above that it will torque steer like an arse, but im sure my car used to be abit more nimble below 3k revs...

    any1 got any ideas?

    i have the same thing, am told its how its meant to be.i believe an induction kit also adds to the loss of power below 3000 revs

    a vtr shouldnt torque steer unless it has shocking tyres or its wet, or the tracking is out.. vts with snide front tyres like mine is interesting!

    I think that 'other fella' was me lol. Probably nothing to do with this but my car seems to drift to left slightly. Even worse when I have a passenger on board. Got suggestions like torque steer and tracking. Will have to get it sorted, dont want a dodgy saxo!!
