I've just dropped it off to them and they will look at it in the morning for me and give me a call. Hope they can fix it. Anyone else had any experience with these guys? the set up looked pretty decent. Will update once i collect the car.

They have many, many happy S2000 customers, including me. I've been using them for many years.

Tyres tyres tyres.
If you are close to Milton Keynes and want to eliminate the tyres, I'm on 16's and you're welcome to swap wheels with me and test it.
I've had the same issue before and it was tyre related. As others have said the S is very sensitive to tyres.

Apologies for the late reply, been inundated with work and the s2000 was parked up in the winter months so not much has been happening.

I took it to Wheels in Chesham who were great, they done a full geometry on the car but the pulling still persists. They suggested that it is most likely the tyres as they did check the underneath of the car (bushes/suspension etc) and said everything was fine.

So just to clarify, when you accelerate, it slightly pulls to the right, and when you let go of the accelerator it pulls back to the left. I suspect it is tyres as can't see it being anything else.

Thanks
