80K service?

80K service?
Could anyone help me out and tell me what should be involved in an 80k service for a bug sti? (same as a 20k apparently). I have tried to look it up but am getting some conflicting information.
I got a quote through for it from a mains dealer for about £300, which if its just oil filter and oil change (which some sources suggest) seems pretty insane.
I am now thinking that if I can accurately find out what is required, I can just take it to a local independent garage that I have a good relationship with and save a bit of cash, also maybe even supply the bits needed as well. Want to be sure what needs doing first though - as they aren't a Subarus or performance car specialist. (always done good work for me though and are a knowledgeable bunch)
Cambelt was done 1 year ago so I know that doesn't need replacing. How about gearbox oil, brake fluid, spark plugs?
Cheers

Cheers for that. Yeah looking at it, the price I was given seems ridiculous. Oil filter, oil change and brake fluid change £300.
Will go to the local workshop I have always used in the past I think for this service and buy the oil and brake fluids myself so I know that they are using quality stuff.
Probably take it to a specialist when time comes for the 90k (30k equivalent) then - as that looks to be a bit more major
