Nice car. What year and model did you go with?
2008 MR, bought it almost 3 years ago with 7400 miles on it. LOVE IT! just have a Cobb Stage 1 and Cobb SF intake - nothing too extreme, its my daily driver.

only advice i can think of right now is:

-check the fuel pump (and 1 or two) other relays. you may be good with a 2013, but i'm not sure when Mitsu updated them to the recommended ones, but the old ones can fail (in cold weather?) and cause some grief/damage... search for the correct (black) ones and check yours. i believe some 2013's did need to be changed.

- ziptie the fuel pressure regulator hose so it doesn't come off

- the ACD Hydraulic pump ($$$) can fail due to corrosion if you drive on salted roads. hit it with some plastidip or anti corrosive type spray (located near rear passenger wheel)..

- get some mudflaps or you'll sandblast the paint on the wide wheel arches

- your on your own with the 5-speed - i think there is a recall for something, not sure what years affected.

i think you're going to love it! the acceleration can still scare the crap out of me sometimes.
