Obviously get some good engine oil with maybe a magnetic sump plug. Also if considering changing gearbox oil (which seems like a pain in the arse but fairly simple to do) you can also get a magnetic gearbox plug.
 
I would say have a look at these:

Hamp oil filter (tall or shortie)
Decent 5W40 oil change (Castrol/Motul/Fuchs) or Royal Purple oils if you want to push the boat out :))
Gearbox oil change
NGK or similar Iridium Spark plugs
Cam belt (OEM or Blue print uprated or similar)
Full coolant drain and change
Air Filter change
Fuel filter change

If you are taking it to a specialist (expensive options)?
Fuel Injectors flushed/cleaned

May of missed a few, but sure others will fill in

EDIT - Your EK9 looks very different, like all the carbon parts. VTI mid level spoiler? and is the back suspension set higher?

Thanks mate for the list.thats really helpfull.

Back spoiler i just like it when I bought, might remove it in future. Back suspension is not higher, its the place where car is parked.
 
Where abouts are you located? Would help others point you in the right direction if they live around that area.
 
I'm pretty sure h-tune stocks all the bits you'll need for a thorough service.

Might be an idea to renew your dissy cap and ht leads too ?

Once a year I strip down and clean my brakes too, just to stop the calipers sticking.

Got my civic serviced about a month ago, brake pads were so worn out it had to be hammered off. Also if i left it any longer it would of ate into the brake discs :mad:
