Maintance wise

Hey fellas,

I need to know what all has to be done a 98 honda civic dx. Maintance wise.. Car has 64k on it now. I'm just going to use this car as to take me back and forth to work. I'M NOT GETTING RID OF MY MAX!!..
But anyways I know civics are fairly easy to work on. So 60k tune up needs to be done.
I got sparks, spark wires,
air filters, fuel filters,
distributer cap and coil,
I'm really not sure on timing belts. But I doubt they need to be replaced. But it looks in good condition / no cracks or slick spots.

What am I missing here?

Thanks,

NeL

Clean / change PCV valve, install new distributor rotor button, change tranny fluid, flush radiator and install new antifreeze, check brakes and flush brake fluid. The timing belt doesn't have to be changed until 100k, I also put 6 ounces of Redline Water Wetter in new antifreeze.

That's good advice. Depending on how the car was treated before you bought it, you may need to clean the throttle body and inspect CV boots (mine cracked before 60k). You may also check the valve clearances (it should have been checked at least once already).
