Spark Plugs - NGK Copper
Spark Plug wires - OEM
Timing Belt - OEM
Spring Tensioner - OEM
Water pump - OEM
Radiator Hoses - OEM
Radiator Fluid - Honda Type 2 (dark turquoise in color)
Transmission Fluid - Honda MTF new (Light green label "Now with friction modifiers")
Brake Fluid. - This one really doesnt matter, unless u do heavy braking, like track events/autocrosses. if so, Motul MBF 600. Otherwise, I use the Honda stuff as well, since its priced in line with what u get at the autoparts store.

I agree with everything except the plugs. I always run the OEM plugs in my GSR.

I agree with Spec. Oem on everything and NGK on the plugs. The platinum plugs are a waste.

I thought the OEM spark plugs were NGK coppers?

oh, as for the next bolt-on?

i always say get an alignment or save up for some decent tires or both before the next bolt on.

NGK's yes, but I guess it depends on the year. I know for 3rd Gen they only use copper plugs on the RS model. They recommend platinum plugs on all other models.
