Default Tune Up

Hey guys, I'm planning on doing a tune up on my new 2001 s2000. So far I'm planning on doing an oil change, transmission fluid change, diff fluid change, clutch fluid change, brake fluid change, new intake filter, new cabin air filter, cleaning my IAC and throttle body, and new rubber gaskets for the Vtec solenoid and the front hex bolt. Is there anything else I'm missing that I should probably do? Trying to tackle everything at once. Thanks

All of that stuff is good. Bit none of that stuff is a 'tune up'.

Spark plugs, yes. Valve adjustment, ok sure. Air filter, well, maybe. The rest, no...

Agree. I guess its sort of the modern version of a tune up. To me, tune up involves a new set of points, maybe a new distributer cap, maybe a new set of wires, plugs, valve adjustment, and a timing light.
Guess I'm dating myself. :}

Don't forget a new condenser to go with those points!
