Default I hit 100k.

So i have over 100k miles now. I do the normal fluid maintenance. Any belts I should worry about?

Another question. It only happens once in a long time but when I push to start the car. It makes this weird noise, like those wind-up toys you crank. You over crank it and it lets up. The car starts up fine but it made that sound. Happened like 3 times in I think like 1-2 years.

I'm pretty sure that's starter overrun, you have to either grease something inside the starter or replace the starter. It's do to lack of lubrication.

Honda recommends you to change your spark plugs @ 100k miles.

Congrats on hitting 100k!

Some of this might seem silly to tell you but this is to help anyone reading this. I have put severe by some, those you should check if you have drove your car hard or in severe weather. All of this is listed in the service manual.

Replace engine oil every 7,500 mi or 1 year (whichever comes first)
Replace engine oil filter every other oil change
Replace break fluid every 3 years

At 97,500 mi you should have...
inspected the front and rear breakes (Severe)
inspected tie-rod ends, steering gearbox, and boots (Severe)
inspect suspension components (Severe)
inspect drive shaft boots (Severe)

At 105,000 mi you should...
replace air filter (Severe)
inspect valve clearance and adjust if noisy
replace spark plugs
inspect idle speed
Change the diff fluid (Severe)
Inspect front and rear breaks
Check parking break adjustment
Lubricate locks, hinges, and latches (Severe)
Inspect tie-rod ends, steering gearbox, and boots
Inspect suspension components
Inspect driveshaft boots
Inspect Break hoses and lines (Inluding ABS)
Inspect all fluid levels and condtions of fluid
Inspect Cooling System and hoses and connection
Inspect Exhaust System
