Hey folks, just wonder when this should be changed? 2001 prelude with
101,000.
I'm being told 120K and 150K
any advice?

I was told, that unless you hear noise, feel roughness, or car is running
heavy on gas. don't worry about it!

GEEEZ. i think most hondas say to change your belt at 60k, if you belt
breaks on a honda the valves can hit the pistons and ruin your engine. you
need to change that belt in a hurry, i was just like you, i had 110k miles
on my timing belt and it broke on the highway, luckily i have a 87 accord
and the valves didnt hit the pistons. i ended up changing the timing belt my
self and only spent $25. lots of people put it off because it costs a lot
sometimes. lots of small shops will do it for $180 up where i live, near
newark and nyc.
