Well, Honda doesn't say it needs it until 120,000 miles (90,000miles by the old standard). So you still have some time. It's a big job and costs alot.

I've been hunting for one for a while but have had no luck finding anything. I have 116K on mine and can definately feel some slippage.

You don't need a new ecu ever unless it breaks. Timing belt is good to do at 90k miles, just in case. If it breaks, you're in alot more repair money.

Wierd .. normal replacement for the timing is 120k kms I believe, but we are not the same person so you can do whatever you like. Hell I know people that do not change their oil (and filter) regularly, most often going 10k kms between changes.
