Default Recommended tune-up parts

It's time to do a tune-up on the 2001 Accord (2.3 liter VTEC). I will be replacing- spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor. I was thinking of getting NGK plugs & wires as they have a good reputation for replacement parts on Japanese vehicles (I run them on my Subaru).

Any other recommendations on what parts I should pick up? Also I will be replacing the air filter- is there a replaceable fuel filter?

Pretty much NGK or nothing when it comes to plugs and wires. Denso are ok, but why bother...

cap and rotor are very inexpensive parts but can have a large effect on the way the engine runs. check places like Rockauto, find the brands that are a little more expensive (safe to assume the extra cost pays for extra quality in this case) then get that. however, double check that you're not spending more than you would on discount OEM/Dealership parts at places like hondapartsdeals and hondapartsunlimited.

fuel filter is said to be a "lifetime" filter. but if you'd like it's just there on the firewall. easy access. (if I'm remembering right...)
