Making my car more reliable!?

[Veetec]

Which parts should or could I get to make my 2000 base Prelude (engine and exhaust are stock except of a Type-S intake with a K&N replacement filter) more reliable under heavy or heavier use? I mean parts like radiator cap, thermostat, fanswitch, oil catch tank (Greddy?), new clutch, additives, ignition upgrades, ...
And what are the downsides of these parts?
I live in germany so overheating shouldn´t become a problem most of the time (it´s cold most of the time).
Thanx a lot for your help in advance!

I´m already doing that! Somebody told me to get some additional gauges so that I can spot problems when they are starting. Seems like a good idea to me because I wanted to get an a-pillar gauge pod with some gauges anyways. But the question is which gauges would be most important for me? Like you can see in my sig my engine is nearly stock so I don´t think that I would really need a air/ fuel ratio gauge. Maybe oil temperature and pressure?? What do you think?
Thanx in advance!
