basically you just need to inspect everything. IF you have not changed your coolant in a long time it might be a good idea to do so.

Inspect your CV joints
Rubber suspension parts
change brake fluid if it has not been done in a while
adjust parking brake
change oil and filter
change PS fluid if not done in a while
change tranny fluid if it has not been done in the last 30K (I do mine once a year)
apply some silicon grease to your weather stripping and window tracks
check your ball joints if your car shakes and it is alligned properly
check and change air filter if needed
check and change PCV valve if needed
valve adjustment if it has not been done in the last 30K (replace valve cover gasket grommets and tube seals when you do this)

timing belt should be changed first and then once your timing is back in spec, then adjust the valves when the engine is cold.
