If you've driven it 40k and haven't done so, I would:

Replace the spark plugs
Drain and refill transmission (about 2.5 quarts ATF)
Replace the air filter
Check brake pads / shoes
Adjust valves
Add a bottle of fuel injector cleaner to the tank every 3-5k miles.

Did you replace the coolant when you replaced the radiator? If not, I would replace the coolant.

All of the items I mentioned (with the exception of the valve adjustment) are easy maintenance items for the average person to do.

My owners manual for a '94 Accord suggests the timing belt / waterpump replacement at 90k miles. I believe the suggested period between valve adjustments is 15k miles.
