I'll be reaching a 100K in my 05 coupe 5AT as well. I've done the normal routine stuff:
Procedure/ Interval
Oil 5-8K
Air filters 15K
J-matic drain and fill 30K
Coolant 30K
Brake fluid flush 50K
Radiator cap every 2 years
Are there any belts and does the water pump need to be changed at 100K? This is the first car with a timing chain that I've owned. I think I could hold off on the shocks for a while, my sister's 04 Accord has 160K and it's now starting to be a little rough on the speed bumps.

ngk's iridiums are great spark plugs
but do check your belts easy to replace but i wouldnt do it myself. Spark plugs are way easy only took me 20 min to change them out. there is a DIY here on how to change belts and spark plugs.
My advice on fluid change is count back when was the last time each fluid was changed and just add up the mileage to when each fluid needs to be changed. Example} diff. fluid change, every 60k miles

yeah they are. go to Kragen or Autozone the price is cheaper than the vendors sell them here for.
right now autozone is giving $6 back after mail in rebate.
price for all 6 plugs are $40
be sure to get iridiums not platnium. platnium is oem but cost much more and iridiums are overall better spark plugg

I'll be doing the plugs this summer with NGK Iridiums and forgot to mention diff fldui change every 30L (overkill I know but it's so easy) I'll have find someone for the belts...not doing that esp if the engine needs to be lifted. I hear the power steering fluid is generally ok to leave alone for along time like 200K. I'll probably just change out the fluid in the reservoir.
markkin... my 05 uses about 3/4 quart every 7500-8000 miles. I use Castrol 0W-30 from autozone. I drive somewhat agressively... car sees 4-6K revs on a daily basis and put on about 25K a year.

no way, 200k is insanely too long... just take a siphon hand pump for $4 and replace the fluid in the reservoir whever you change your oil. i just did mine at 70k and the fluid was burnt to hell.
