Well, car has 108k and still kicking strong. Had a valve adjustment, replaced ac, and replaced both axles at 100k. Now i'm looking for other maintenance stuff to do.
When should I be replacing the waterpump?
Since i'm replacing the stock clutch here soon with a stage something and a light flywheel should I just go ahead and get an EM2 EX CMC?
Also replacing my rad. reservoir tank so which fluids should I grab?
What are the intervals on plugs, transmission fluid, and anything else I may need to do as preventative maintenance?

Replace the water pump if there is evidence of coolant at the weep hole. Do not go lighter than a 10lb flywheel, the best option is a typeR fly or ACT streetlite flywheel.
Use Honda fluids for the rad and trans.

If I may ask, what is the weep hole exactly and where is it located?

On the bottom side of the waterpump housing where the pulley/shaft enters, there is a hole, it is a weep hole, so if the seal/bushing is shot the coolant escapes there. And the seal/bushing is the only part that wears out.

i had to change my water pump a few months back, my car just hit 100,000 miles, my engine was making a wicked clunking type sound for a while, after my mechanic change it, the sound was gone
