60k Maintenance Questions

Hi guys, my 2002 Nb just hit the big 60,000 mile mark. I want to do a proper tune up. So far on my list is plugs, wires, timing belt, valve cover gasket, motor tranny diff fluids, and possibly water pump. I got the Miata in Feb, so this is the first I'm changing anything. Although the cars drives amazing and there have been no signs of anything dying, I'm obviously going to do this stuff as it's preventative maintenance. Could I get some opinions/ stories/ tips/ suggestions from you guys?

Is the OEM 60k package worth it? Should i just buy certain parts? From where? I'm not a complete and utter noob idiot, I just want to make sure this is done right.

yeah go oem for all the maintenance parts. i went to flyin miata for my timing belt kit and maintenance parts.

btw, GET THE WATER PUMP hahah... you dont wanna go back under there for a while.

will you be doing the timing belt and deals by yourself?

so many people have been messing up timing belt jobs on MTnet lately its funny.... make sure the intake and exhaust cam lobes face away from eachother on cylidner 1 as a dummy proof check... thats how people do it on NA's atleast.

That kit includes almost everything you need except for the water pump. Changing all the fluids would be nice, but I think that is done at 100k.
It doesnt hurt to do it anyways though..i mean he's/ you're already going to be in there might as well.
