I bought an AP1 about 3 month ago privately and made the huge mistake of not getting a vehicle history report prior to the purchase. I got suspicious weeks into driving the car when I started noticing the interior panels not lining up correctly and the soft top didn’t line up perfectly either among other clues. I ran a car fax and it turns out the car was totaled a few years ago in Georgia, then re-registered in Florida with a clean title months later?? Now I put myself through college while working at Honda in 1999 thru 2004 so I know how a brand new S2000 is suppose to feel, and here’s my issue. I began to notice that whenever I give the car gas the vehicle aims its nose toward the left slightly and as soon as I let go of the gas it straightens back up. Could this be caused by a bent frame? Keep in mind that there are no alignment issues, meaning that the steering wheel is dead on 12 o’clock, there are no shakes, and the car does not lean in any direction. It’s only when I step on the gas that the car starts going toward the left, I can correct it while I’m on the gas and keep the car straight but as soon as I let off the gas I have to re adjust the steering wheel to compensate. What else could this be if not structural damage? Please help!!

Get an alignment check to check all the specs. Toe and castor being off can affect the pulling. They could have done a cheap backyard alignment to get the steering wheel straight. Just get it checked and while it's up, try to have a look underneath
