Do a full tune-up, including rotor, cap, oil change, radiator flush, fluid top off, pad and rotor check, alignment and balance of wheels and tires. Oh, and make sure to get some of that madd phazzat wood trim.

timing belt for sure

spark plugs (a 5 min job)
tranny flush (change the MT Fluid in your case)
air filter
PCV valve
oil change
flush cooling system (get it done at the same time they do the timing belt)

Check out the CV joints

Buy a repair manual. There isnt a single member here that will sit there and give you detailed instructions on how to do everything.

Your engine is an F22B1 if its an EX, F22B2 if its any other.
