So,

I've got about 100K on my Accord, and will need to change out the spark plugs soon. I was wondering, is it normal to also change the plug wires and other parts of the distributor system at this time as part of the spark plug change or is this necessary?

I always change the wires too, even though they're kind of expensive. Every once in a while I've also run into wires that get damaged or due to say, lack of dielectric greease the end of the wire is still stuck to the plug when pulled out.

At 100k I would swap everything . it is always cheaper than being stuck on the side of the road

You should be due for a timing belt soon as well (105k miles).

Kenta be glad it's 4 plugs and 4 wires.
My MB's use two plugs per cylinder and they're V8's.
16 plugs and 16 wires. $$$$

Oye, and I bet it doesn't use the cheap stuff. The plugs are probably platinum and the wires are made of some german specialty rare-earth-material

Unobtainium, most likely.

haha... I heard that stuff was worth 10000x it's weight. if you can find it

Timing belt has already been replaced at 75K. Transmission fluid was recently done, radiator fluid seems okay for now, oil was recently changed, cabin filter changed, brakes, rotors, tires, battery all relatively current.

Will be changing the spark plugs, wires, distributor rotor?, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and lubing hinges etc. Is there anything else I am missing here for a 100K car? How about the fuel filter? Anything else I should check or change? Thanks.

Maybe change the PCV valve?
