Default Pulling problems

Having a few issues with the car

First is something i've had since i bought the car.
When going round a sweeping right hand corner if i accelerate the car pulls left quite sharply. When i lift off the car returns to steering how i want it to.
Diff, or other problem?
I have tried it with two sets of wheels, and it does the same.

Secondly, i had the wheels balanced and tyres pumped up yesterday, and the car now pulls right when i accelerate. Would having the balancing and tyres pumped up be enough to cause this.
I only had the fronts done. Would not having the rears done cause it?

Get the rear pressures done aswell. Have you had a four wheel geometry done recently?

I was going to say geo.
Maybe get the geo guys to check all is tight in the suspension/tracking department.
Blew a head gasket at Snetterton, but did not have to use the flatbed insurance

Me too. I'd take it back and let them have a check of it mate.

Mine use to 'torque steer' when i first got it, geo sorted it though.

Seems very strange that it changed direction after the balancing.

Don't think it's been in an accident.

HPI was fully clear, and my mate checked it over and said everything looked original and straight
