4 wheel alignment
After a long wait i finally got my nurburg blue/blue gt. 300 miles and 3 weeks later i have just had 4 wheel alignment done to the car as it was pulling violently to the left.It is still pulling to the left.It is now booked in again next week for a couple of days to sought it out. Any body else had this problem. Local honda dealer originaly wanted
It pulled violently to the left, even under 6,000 RPM? you are running it in aren't you
If its doing that without hitting VTEC, have you checked that the tyres are 32 psi all round
Perhaps they gave you the new front wheel drive S2000 and its just torque steer

What MB says (esp. about the running in - dont exceed 5000 rpm for the 1st 600 miles).
If the alignment has been properly checked, I agree that tyre pressures are the most likely cause of the problem - the S2000 is incredibly sensitive to tyre pressure - one tyre a few psi down (esp at the rear) will cause the 'pulling' you describe.

Mine exhibited the same behaviour when two weeks old, turned out to be a puncture in one of the rears, you would never have known from looking at the tyres though, they both looked fully inflated. As suggested by the others pressure is the most likely cause of the problem, either punture or just not inflated to the correct PSI.
Sorry to be thick but this issue pops up several times. When taking delivery of a brand new car:
What exactly do you mean should be done by the dealer in terms of '4 wheel alignment'?
Is it part of standard Honda PDI? If not, have people been able to insist on it without cost?
How do I know the dealer can do the 4 wheel alignment, and that it has been done?
thx
