    I bought my civic 3 years ago and its close to hitting the 100k mileage
    (round trip commute is 124mi..80%open road). I plan to put at least 300k on
    this car. I have changed the oil/filter every 3k miles as well as the air
    cleaner when it gets dirty. Other than that (except tires, brake job, etc) I
    have performed no other maintence on the car.

    My question is.....when I take the car in for its 110k timing belt change
    and transmission oil change, what other parts should I replace while its
    torn down to that point. I learned the hard way on other honda's or mazda's
    that you probably should change all belts and hoses and consider changing
    the water pump.

    What would you recommend, other than the timing belt?

    crankshaft seal (might wait till next belt changeout)
    camshaft seal (might wait till next belt changeout)
    thermostat
    waterpump
    t-belt tensioner bearing

    Flush out coolant.

    If Auto Trans, use honda ATF oil on change out.

    and advance the camshaft with a new tension bering

    and belt if you can aford it

    may be 15%+ more power
