Honda recommends 166000 I believe for timing belt replacement. Water pump with the first belt is an inspect and replace if necessary item. In "extreme" climates we recommend changing the belt at 100000KM, since it could cause harder wear on the belt. The belt itself may look fine at first glance, but it could be starting to crack and deteriorate on the inside. If you are 50K over the 166, I would do it asap. It is pricey, but so is a rebuild when the belt lets go and the pistons kiss the valves.

Replace the engine mounts if/when they wear excessively or tear.
