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

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
