Do you want to remove it or just disable it?

It looks to be fairly straightforward on my MY2000 estate.
The abs unit is underneath the air cleaner and there's a rear brake limiter somewhere around there. I'm not near the car so working on memory.
It should be failrly simple to remove the parts you don't want and reconnect the brakes with a pipe to each wheel.
A pipe flaring tool may be a good purchase.
Keep the rear limiter or remove it at your own risk.

thanks frothe reply mate, looked at it at the weekend, still not sure about how to do it, my master cylinder only has two pipes off of it which i believe go to the abs unit, i can get my hands on a servo from an sti2 (non abs)which has four pipes out of it, would this make the job easier?

You need the master cylinder from a non-abs car, with 4 outlets.
