just wondering i have a '97 JDM ITR with 113xxx km at the moment
do i need to change the timing belt ?

 

yeah. I am about to do it to my 2001 w/ 60k miles.

 

I believe the service schedule for the timing belt is 90,000 miles.
My uncles Integra LS belt broke at 150,000 on the original belt. He's now in need of a new cylinder head.

It's best you change it now before it snaps.

 

you can DIY w/o pulling the motor right?

 

Yes, it's a fairly easy procedure. The only problem you might run into is loosening the crank pulley bolt. After that, it's cake.

 

150,000 mileage on the original belt, He must be a steady driver.
