Default WRX- centre diff controller?

Is there anyone out there who knows if a WRX can be made rear-wheel drive. An electronic centre-diff controller can be fitted to the GT-R Skyline (HKS product). Does the WRX have some sort of centre diff control? Or an EVO Lancer for that matter?
I was thinking of purchasing one of the two. But i enjoy crooked driving on tarmac as well.

i just res an artivle in sport compact car mag where they did that. made a wrx rwd, but since it had alot of power after a couple of drifts somethinf broke caus eiits not meant to hold that much power, but its relatively easy to do, just open the front dif and weld it so it wont spin and the power goes to the back, of coarce there r more profrssional ways...
