Default Am I forgetting anything?

My 02 T/a, lightly modified, auto, reached 90,XXX recently. I've put 30,XXX roughly on it. So I decided it was time for maintenance. So far...
Oil & filter change (That's done routinely though)
Coolant flush & replaced radiator cap (cap was pretty corroded,i was surprised)
New gear oil and rear pinion seal (was leaking and almost no fluid left)
Tires, battery, and brakes still fairly new.

Planning on...
tranny flush
new spark plugs and wireset
new serpentine belt
and SFC's! (but that's just for my own fun) along with headers hopefully.

That's about all i got on the list as of now.

Don't forget the fuel filter. Easily overlooked. Hopefully you have stayed on top of the power steering fluid too. It gets nasty fairly quick.
