lotta people do it in the range of 60k-80k. But what happens if you don't? probably nothing at all, it just a prevention maintainence. do it at that range is just a recommandation...
just do it when you have time, it would be a good idea, but its not a hurry... do it b4 it hits 100k.

give a dealer ship a call and ask them what the recommended interval change is if you go over that interval (normally 60k-80k) the belt is more likely to snapp in which case all kinds of damage will occure to the pistons/valves and it would cost alot more to fix than it would for a belt change as the cylinder head wil have to be taken off.
