well, since you just bought it, you'd probably be more comfortable if you did everything to it....save up about 100-150 and a weekend of work and do oil/filter, spark plugs, wires, dist cap, rotor, flush/fill tranny, air filter...while your down there you can check the condition of the cv joints, exhaust.....once you do that, you should be confident that its running as smoothly as it ever will, and then you can start you regular mainenance schedule from there.....also, if your just starting to do repairs...a Haynes manual is good, but a Helms is the #$$%...they're the manuals that the Honda shops use...they're like 60-70 bucks but well worth it...much more detailed and easier to read than the haynes....
