Grease all hinges and locks with a white spray grease,test your brake fluid,test your coolant,top up either should they need it,drop oil and filter and replace.Replace,air,oil and fuel filter.Fill oil.\spray battery terminals with batt terminal spray.
Clean brakes and check pad thickness *tip-use an allen key to measure brake pad thickness.
Check all joints for play
Spark plugs-set the proper gap too.
Grease your brake pipes,check all bulbs.
Check timing belt condition-is it due? when was it last changed?

i'm a little concerned.. does your engine have a distributor or a coil pack?? if its coil pack, then fine, but if you have a distributor, then someone screwed you over for a 'remap' as the dizzy version of the gsi engine is not mapable in any way..

Coil pack mate !
