Any kind of timing belt? Can I install that myself? Would I need to get that from the dealer?

What would I do to my rear brakes?

I'll grab a cap and rotor from the dealer, and some NGK plugs and wires.

What fluids should I check/change?
T-belt - Should be replaced every 60-90K miles to error on the safe side. Get a genuine Honda belt. That part is too important to go cheap on. You can install it yourself, but if you are unsure of your skills, have the dealer do it.

Rear brakes - Just check them, especially if you have rear drums. They don't let you know when they wear out with any kind of warning. It helps save the cost of buying new drums.

Fluids - Replace auto transmission fluid every 40k, coolant every 2-3 years or 40k, brake fluid every two years, power steering every 3-4 years or 60k. These might be a bit extreme for some, but that's when I do my changes.
