should be alright - depends how you drive it.

gearbox's can be problems with lots of power running through.

the worst you are likely to do in a standard ish car is lunch the clutch.

be gentle and no fierce dropping - should be ok

no probs when i ran my v4 type r. lots of track days, meets and A roads.

service regularly. 3 yrs running 2 scoobs, all which failed were

94wrx - no problems

98 type r - 1 gearbox rebuilt, 1 passenger rear wheel baering, 2 clutches, 1 lightened flywheel.

so, i presume they are quite reliable if u r not turning up silly boost.
