sorry, but this is the sort of statement only made by someone who doesn't own/hasn't driven a modified XR5T... i have never had a problem with torque steer. in fact the only time i have ever experienced it, i did it deliberately to get a feel for it... these modern FWD cars are well sorted. It's not until you mod to ridiculous levels that an LSD becomes necessary...

Dallas is right, XR5OC has a heap of info but there is another site www.fordXR5turbo.com which probably has a bit more (only because it's been around a bit longer). both forums are frequented by a great bunch of people only too willing to help new members...
