High RPMs, Higher Elevation - Type R Thrills in the Appalachians
Join me on an unforgettable drive through the winding mountain roads of North and South Carolina in my 1998 Honda Integra Type R DB8 — a rare four-door JDM icon.
With VTEC screaming and the B18C engine living in the high revs where it belongs, we tackle some of the most exhilarating stretches of pavement the Southeast has to offer — including the legendary US 276 and US 178 near Table Rock and Pisgah National Forest.
This isn’t just a scenic cruise — it’s a celebration of analog driving, a lightweight chassis, and the raw purity of Honda engineering at its finest. Buckle up for heel-toe downshifts, screaming redlines, and tight technical corners as the Type R makes the mountains its playground.
