^This. My car has been through everything from harsh winters to road trips to summer track days. It's my daily driver and I rev the shit out of it any chance I get. It's been just as reliable as I would expect from any other Toyota.
But I do keep up with regular oil changes and make sure the engine is warmed up before I rip it. I also use the recommend 93 octane fuel.
As for race prep, I just did really basic things: Wider wheels with sticky tires. Brake pads and fluid. Lowered it slightly. Better flowing air filter and exhaust. But you don't really need any of that for autocross. They only allow one car on track at a time. So even if you're slow as shit, you won't be holding up traffic. It's just faster and to me, a lot more fun, with a few basic mods.
