cat litter takes car off spilt oil and grease better than anything else.

as mentioned before torque wrench, breaker bar, etc
soldering iron
selesction of clamps, butt clamps, spade connectors, etc
anti seize compound, lithium grease.

3/8" deep socket - spark plugs
in those generic sets, you will most likely break some of the pieces unless they are drop forged. its a safe choice to buy some adapter 1/2 to 3/8 and vice versa as well as the extensions.

electrical tape, etc

i would also recommend a dremel rotary tool

Actually, I did my oil, transmission, and diff fluid changes with NO jackstands

Oil and diff can both be done on the ground. I may have used a couple of boards under the front wheels for the tranny, but I don't remember. I was just more comfortable with the car on the ground than getting under a car with a fall potential.

I find that Honda really likes using a 14mm bolt for a lot of applications. I keep a ratcheting box wrench in that size nearby...

I got the cooler, sound system and the bfgoodrich s2000 banner, along with a mugen and spoon shop banner. And I got 2 tool boxes.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions, I have a list here of stuff I'm going to go buy after work today.
