Default what all should i replace at 120k?

i have 120k on my 06' rio. it has the 5spd manual trans with no options other than a/c & radio. i plan on putting some money into it soon and trying to see what i need and what can wait till later. here is my maintenance history so far:

done at the dealership-
oil changes every 3k till 90k, then every 5k after
trans serviced once, maybe twice
timing belt at 60k
drive belts also at 60k
engine coolant flush, once
power steering fluid at around 100k

done by me-
air filters often
engine coolant flush, couple times
spark plugs at 80k
air con filter a few times
battery/brake pads/tires


i plan on getting the timing belt & drive belts changed again at 120k, what else should i replace since i have it in the shop? only other thing i can think of is the water pump and maybe the timing belt idler pulley. i was going to say belt tensioner but since it does not have a serpentine belt i dont think it has one. are there any other belt pulleys or bearings i should change out while everything is apart? or anything else you can think of?

thanks for reading my thread & i appreciate any helpful posts

I would double check the trans service.
The 2010 and 2002 turn over at 3200 RPMs at 65 mph. Too fast for my liking. Go synthetic if you can.

What about the battery? Have it tested if it's over 3 years old.
If you like the car and plan on keeping it think about new springs and struts on all four wheels.
Flush the break fluid.

Good luck and keep us posted.

If you just go by the maintenance schedule, then at 120k you are due for: t-belt, spark plugs, coolant service, trans service, fuel tank air filter. If you've had any of this done recently, then obviously you don't need it.

The fuel tank air filter is really only needed if you have problems fueling.
