aspects of preforming an yearly maintain on RX8

Hi. guys. i have gotten this car for nearly an year now. so i guess it is the time for me to do some maintaince on it. i tried searching but nothing similar came up.
here are some of the aspects that i have. can you help me to finish the list.

New Oil filter
Oil change
New Drive Belt
Clean or Replace Air filter
New Spark plugs
Check Fuel Filter
Check Fuel line hoses and connections
Replace coolant
Check cooling system for linkage and connections
Check brake lines and hoses for linkage and overexpensioned.
Check break disks for unity and thickness
Check steering components
Check suspension(shocks, coilovers, ball joints, bushings, lower and upper arms)
Replace manual transmission oil
Replace rear differential oil
Clean carbon built up in the exhaust system
Oil every moving parts.

i think i am still missing things like how to check clutch, gears, air condition, and the right ways to check for suspensions.

can you help me to finish my lists. so i can do them or ask the dealer to do them.

The owner's manual is your friend. Read the service schedule portion of it.

^ Absolutely, look at the service schedule in the manual. Also, depending on your mileage of course, you may want to re-think servicing your car only once a year ......
