I agree subarus are like that im a subie guy, but the new rwd eliminates the chance of transmission swap, so you'd need custom housing to put brz tranny to ej if it were even possible, were pretty sure of the bolt pattern which is indicating no brembo swap from sti or rims, only 04sti small production relative to other years shares the 5X100, likely the fmic stuff will need to be custom as well. We definitely know the DI will not swap onto an ej plug and play. Not looking like the sti is going to be a great swap candidate at least not older ones,

If the FB shares the same trans bolt pattern as the EJ then the FA will as well (I have no idea if that's the case or not).

All you need from the 04 STI is rotors. Any 04-11 STI front calipers bolt up (although won't be proper as discussed in some brakes threads) and 04-07 rear calipers... and the parking brake stuff if you want the parking brake to function.. and pads of course.

A BIW BRZ will be at least 5k if they ever sold it. Add in all of the parts to build it as a race car and there is no way you'll be under 15k IMO.
