Default RWD

I have just purchased a sti 4 type R. Having owned a uk model for three years at the start of 2000, and found running it in London a nightmare.
Last year my brother and I bought a 200sx, as a weekend car to drift and have loved every min of it. So now I am looking to convert the sti 4 into RWD.
Does any one know how complex this is???
Or is it impossible???
Seen as the Scooby has such great handling and a very torquey engine I think it would make the perfect drift machine. I know Jun have developed an sti 8 in Japan to run Rwd.
Any advice would be apreciated.

cheers Bohnjegley

Think you bought the wrong car! Can't you just put up with the dccd? Why was it nightmare, running it in London?

No its defo the right car. Having owned one before I know what a great car the Impreza is. Yep I can put up with it but the car was bought as a project and considering the fun I had last year I wanted to DRIFT it ,Costing £250 a month for a garage, using the tube because congestion charge, and to much traffic.Thats why London is a nightmare.

Thought someone on here might have a clue of how to do it.
