I would follow the standard rule of thumb for 100k miles.

I am a mechanic and own an Acura TL of the same year... the Honda/Acura service recommendation for the timing belt on the J32A3 engine is 120,000 miles. Honda timing belts generally last much longer then this, so avoid giving in to people "recommending" 60k, 75k, or 100k otherwise you will be dumping away a lot of money prematurely. If you have any doubts, call an auto parts store and have them give you the NORMAL service recommendation for your car. Tell them to click on 120,000 miles on their service interval menu.
