Your transmission will crap itself. There is a kit I think for doing
what you want. It is not as simple as removing the front drive shafts.

I have never done it myself but I am sure someone will jump
in who has 1st hand experience.

The question I have is why ? the WRX is renowned for AWD so
why circumvent it ?

You can buy the part from subaru or rigioli or you modify the standard diff but this is permanent. Mate did one on his wrx/brumby conversion which was a lot more fun in rwd than awd.

You'll want to upgrade the standard r160 diff to a r180 rear end with thicker shafts. r160 diffs aparently wont take long to break when a RWD conversion is done.

Why would you want a rwd wrx? The chassis is not designed to be RWD, nor the front suspension. I think a rwd wrx would be deadly anyway. but if you prefer drifting than sticking around fast corners then bah.
