Default Maintance and Tune up

I purchased a 93 Prelude with DOHC VTEC, Was just checking to see if there is anything I should do like tune up. The car had a 129,000 miles on it and the owner had no idea what has been done to it. So here is what I have done so far Had the Timing belt replaced, replaced the Sparkplugs, cables look good Had the radiator hoses replaced and radiator flushed.

I was thinking about the fuel filter, can someone tell me were it's located?

Anything else I should be replacing?

Thanks Dave

They took care of the water pump for me, I have done the oil change. I will check on the Tran Fluid change. I will get a new Fuel filter this weekend.

Thanks Dave

sounds good, just double check everything in about two weeks, you should be set.

Don't forget spark plug wires, new distributor rotor. I do that every three years regardless of the miles. Be carefull on the wires. I bought a set of NGK wires, had them tested for resistance. They were worse than the Neuspeed wires I was going to replace. Left the Neuspeed wires on. High resistance wires leave less spark in the combustion chamber.
