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

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.
