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!

Just do the maintenance like oil changes and the car should be fine.

All of these cars start with J so they are made in Japan.
