09 Fit Sport GE8 manual trans maintenance

So I bought my car used a little over 2 years ago with 71k miles on it at the time. Since then I just finally went past 103k today. Being I plan on keeping it for many years to come, can you guys give me some recommendations on general maintenance that I might want to look into now and down the road at specific mileage intervals. I just replaced the front rotors & pads at 101k miles along with front swaybar links, new tires and a new ac compressor & compressor relay. Being I'm not sure what kind of preventative maintenance the previous owner did, what would you reccomend now or in the near future. What I have in mind at the moment is a coolant change, brake fluid change, manual transmission fluid change and new spark plugs. Is the 1.5 a timing belt or timing chain engine? All the recalls are current except for the lost motion spring recall which I plan to get done in the next few weeks barring my local honda dealer can get it done. The car runs excellent overall and I would like to keep it that way for a long time to come. Oil wise currently running Mobil 1 full synthetic high mileage every 10k miles. The car is not driven in hilly or mountainous terrain or dusty conditions.
