Default just bought car need help

Ok, so today i picked up my 90 ef hatch w/ b20b swap and sofar so good, until now. For some reason when I push in the clutch the car yanks to the right, kinda hard, when i release the clutch it catches and comes back. Also when I try to turn right, same thing. Also I looked at my car when it was parked and it seems the front passenger side tire is turning at more of an angle then my driver side. Please help just got it today and this is what I get lol any ideas?

ok update*

I straightened up the tires, they look perfect. Now when I turn them the drivers side turns normal, and the other tire looks like its pushed back and way more turned, to the point that its rubbing and stopping. ( o ) = normal tire (o ) tire when turned on passenger side. its wierd though because when i straighten it up its fine.

Damn dude that blows man. ALWAYS inspect the car top to bottom before you buy. I know the dude that was trying to sell it and i was like your crazy thinkin your gonna get 3500 for it lol. It used to be my friends car before that dude got it, and the swap was really doen by inline pro. It's a really reliable car also, ran a 15.2 at the track.
