Default 130k miles what to do!!! Please Help

Hey everyone, I was just wondering as my 99 civ lx sedan is just over 130k what I should be looking to do at this point. Belts were done at 100k along with a new starter.
What should I do , or be on the look out for to keep her running to that 200k mark which Im praying she does!

you dont need all of that. usually they replace the water pump at 100k with the timing belt since its easier. to be honest, i usually replace the coolant, transmission fluid, distributor cap and rotor, get an alignment, and do a valve adjustment every 15k miles. i change my spark plugs every 3 oil changes. around 7500-9000 miles.

every 30-50k i replace the spark plug wires, fuel filter, vtec solenoid filter whatever else i can think of. the only reason for major work like stated above is if something is wrong, i.e. burning oil, overheating, blah blah blah.
