60,000 - 90,000 Engine timing belt - Replace. inspect water pump & accessory drive belts for wear and damage. Every model is different. Honda basically recommends that if you have a pre 1990 car, change the belt at 90,000 miles. If you have a 1990 and newer car change it at 90,000-105,000 or 72 months (whichever comes first).
However, they state "or 60,000 or 48 months under adverse conditions". As we stated earlier, unless you drive at 55 MPH, for 10 miles per day... you are driving under adverse conditions. Another way to say it is that you need severe service. So, here is what we think you need for your car:

60,000 miles: everything but a passport.

75,000-90,000 miles: Passport (3.2L engine) Honda Recommends 60,000 miles for pre 1997, 1998 should be changed every 75,000 miles and 1999 on 100,000 except under adverse conditions (then it should be 75,000 miles.
60,000 - 100,000 Fuel filter - replace every 60,000 miles or when fuel pressure drops below factory specifications.
105,000 Spark plugs - replace platinum every 105,000 miles
