fabolous-aston-martin-rapide-spotted-in-new-jersey_100334280_m.jpg

We’re happy to report that rapper Fabolous, a.k.a. John David Jackson, is the proud owner of a new Aston Martin Rapide sedan. He was spotted in New Jersey recently visiting his local barber shop and we managed to scoop these images of his new ride, which reportedly cost him around $250,000.

In a previous sighting, somewhere in Manhattan it appears, Fabolous gives us a few details about the Aston Martin Rapide and even some helpful advice. It certainly is one car that you could describe as ‘Ghetto Fabolous’.

Thanks to Garden State Jewelers for sending in the images.

i opened the thread and started reading the story without paying much attention to the picture. (hadn't heard of the rapide and didn't realise it was a 4 door). so i'm reading away and saw that it said it was a sedan. looked up at the pic. thought "the front doesn't look too bad, just like most other astons really". then my eyes started moving towards the back. well i couldn't mash the keyboard and mouse fast enough to close the page, LOL.

nah it's not that bad but it isn't the most attractive car in the Aston stable

    • How many of you guys run the synchro os giken set and at what power? Do you then also use the billet plate?  How is it launching with it, any dragy times from 0-60? 60ft?
    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
