Default Suggestions on rebuilding my b17

I have a b17 with about 128000 miles. Its basically stock with only i/h/e at the moment. I know eventually I want to do something to get more power (possibly boost), but before I do any of that I would like to rebuild it somewhat. I dont have to go to crazy with it. It has no leaks and runs fine at the moment. I was just wondering what I should replace before any further modifications (nothing crazy like pistons, crack etc.) Im sure that this engine has gotten beaten on in its 16 year lifespan before I got it so I would like to freshen it up a little. I just changed the timing belt, water pump, thermosat and flushed all of the fluids. Any input is greatly appriciated. Thanks

if the motor runs good and dont burn oil then there is no need to rebuilt.128k is not that high and hondas last for a long time

I have to agree if theres no plan to upgrade the internals. Now if you wanted to change the C/R and build the head up, then go for it.
