90K Replace Timing Belt?

I have 90K on my 1999 CL 3.0 . I plan on keeping the car for another two or 3 years. I drive about 15k a year. Is it about time to replace the timing belt?

I also still have the original spark plugs. I called the dealer and they said I didn't need new plugs just yet and could still keep the original ones in there for a little longer. Will this do any damage?

replace the timing belt b4 100K (i did mine at 60)

The spark plugs shouldn't do any damage, but damn 90K is about time for a tune up, if I were you I'd go somewhere other than the dealer and have em put some new plugs and wires in for you. I recommend the NGK Iridium IX, they're the shizzle

tho i think 60k is alittle excessive, 90k is about the time to change the belt. you dont want to be stuck replacing two heads $$$$$.. your wallet will get

I'm just excessive, that's why I said b4 100, 90 is just about right, I believe the acura 90K service includes the timing belt, but I don't go to the dealer anymore

I thought it was 105k for the 3.0. There's people that have gone past 100k and were fine. Not suggesting it, but just so ya know.
