Looking at either Bosch Super 4s (which I fitted to my sisters 1.3 Ka and made a MASSIVE difference over old standard ones), or the Denso Iridium plugs, which I've heard just as good things about.
Also thinking of fitting Magnecor leads as these probably haven't been changed for several years, if at all.
Motul RBF600 racing brake fluid will be going in when the rear disc conversion gets done... then Ferrodo DS2500 pads and new discs all round when I can afford it. With decent tyres on, should literally hurt when braking hard.
Long term I'm probably gonna get cams, and a live remap to get best out of the ECU and map it to run RONNIE-99 petrol, then do the clutch as that'll be on its way out, especially with the power increase... Helix of some description probably.
