My GSR does the same thing, never have been able to diagnose the cause. Mine does it worst on Watt ave, which is a nightmare of rutted assfault(Ha) I guessed that mine was just the car following the grooves and ruts in the road.

I had the same problem with my 95 se, chalk one up for low end torque!

my 98 ls does the same thing only with no hands on the wheel(i don't do this often, just check the alignment from time to time) under medium acceleration. just pulls to the left. If i hold the wheel though, it does not do it and i find that i don't have to use much force to keep it straight.

Same here...that's torque steer.

what about when you shift quickly at high rpm in low gear and it turn to the left...is this torque steer also?

Alignment and tire pressure should be checked to ensure the car is operating properly. If you still pull to the left that is most likely torque steer, although my Integra always has a slight pull to left.
