Default making the car more reliable

i need to pull the motor out of my girlfriend eclipse, so she will have my car for awhile...she is currently going to college out of state. Since she is going to have my car i want it to be the most relible it possibly can be...he is what i have done so far

Oil Change
Cleaned Air filter (SHORT RAM INTAKE)
New plugs, wires, cap and rotor
New fuel filter
New Brake Pads on front (rear not needed)

Any other items i might have missed?..

1. Do not let a woman drive it.
2. See number 1.
3. Leave it stock.

Check all the fluids and change the tranny fluid if it looks discolored. Make sure alignment is good. Spare tire and jack? That's all i can think of at the moment...

Honda's are very reliable. She should have no prob wit a good tune up. If it is due for a timing belt though you might wanna do it

you pretty much got it all covered,
make sure the tires have lots of tread on them.
you might want to lift the front end and give it a little shake to see if anything is worn.
