You mention preventive maintenance for reliability, so I'll skip the comfort and safety and add:


Alternator brushes -- inspect or renew
Tank pump -- inspect or renew


What I know has been done recently:

-Timing Belt yes
-Water Pump yes
-Presumably tentioners check the receipt
-starter keep an eye on rebuilt starters
-igniter probably you mean ignition power stage?
-Fuel pump relay yes, yes

What I plan to do:

-replace all vacuum lines inspect or renew
-engines mounts and transmission mounts (and any other big rubber I can find), I've only driven the car for about 30 minutes, but I noticed a lot of driveline slop if mounts bad, check condition of shifter linkage -- this can break and sideline you
-battery yes
-complete fluid change yes
-complete filter change don't mess with the fuel filter if it isn't rusty
-injectors??? (is this worth the price?) no
-oil trap if it has one it has one - yes
-possibly springs and struts (felt really bouncy) safety - yes (shocks and struts)
