Default new S owner.. HELP!

i'll give u a little back story to lead into my question....so i use ot have an evo 8 for about a year which was a great car but i sold it before winter to save some cash and get something a little sexier and just more my style and my buddy had an 01 s2000 i've drove a few times and i loved it so i decided to buy it....now when i first drove it before he put the clutch in it ran fine but once he put the clutch in (cheapy stage 3 $200 clutch and flywheel pos off ebay) when ever u accelerate it kinda pulls slightly to the right and when u let of it slows down alot and pulls all over the place for a split second. now i know the evo and the S are totally different cars but i had the twin plate carbon exedy clutch in my evo and it never acted like that at all...so basically i wanna know if anyone else has had this problem and if anyone else things it has to do with the shitty pos clutch kit. i'm thinking of just installing an oem exedy replacement cause i don't really care as much about aggressive driving but more toward friendly driving since it is my DD. please refrain from the flaming im new to the S game and i just needed advice and knew the people here would know what they are talking about. thanks

i'd also like to add that the clutch is extremely annoying because it has a REALLY loud chatter when your "coasting" in any rpms higher than 2,500 and thats not hot when u got the top down trying to get the attention of some dudes g/f in is "new" 98 V6 mustang...sorry bout the mustang joke lol

If the car pulls under acceleration, it could be caused by many reasons,
I would start by checking tire pressure, and alignment first.
