It is very likely this car is fitted with platinum or iridium spark plugs.These have a service life of around 60+k miles.Do not attempt to adjust the air gap on the plugs as you may damage the very fine tips.Also be aware that some of these Honda engines have 8 spark plugs.

And to add to the above, when you buy the correct plugs they come pre gapped, no need to adjust.
