The timing belt is in excellent shape, not stretched, cracked, or worn. And my dad is a 20+ year ASE master tech, and wasn't even worried about it.
I know some engines have clearance for the valves so if the timing belt breaks the valves won't hit the pistons. Your dad could probably tell you if the CRX had this feature, then you really don't have to worry about it. My old Volvo 240 2.4 was built like that.
