Post New (to me) 2013 FR-S - What should I do for reliability?

Hey guys,

Just got an FR-S -- LOVE driving it so far. 52k miles, I had bought it without researching year models, thinking that nothing changed between 2013-2016.
That being said, I have done quite a bit of searching and reading on issues that the 2013 FR-S might experience. I want to autocross it but just want to make sure I have everything in best possible shape before I do. I would like to know if I am missing anything as well as some clarity on some things.

-Direct injector seals, I read that if the VIN starts with "J" that this isn't an issue?

-Tune issues, should I just buy an OFT with zero mods?

-Oil pan baffle? Is this a must? Haha...I'm afraid to take a left turn hard!

Anything else I should know about? I'm totally willing to throw some money at the car to give my self some piece-of-mind while driving it hard (with spun rod bearings haunting my thoughts).

Thanks!
-John
