# Getting Started Welcome to the Rush SR Online Service Manual. If you own a Rush SR: we hope our car will bring you years of enjoyment, help you develop your on-track skills, and bring you many wins in wheel-to-wheel competition. This manual has been written to help you get from the trailer to the track as quickly as possible. If you're just looking, feel free, and check out the online [specs](https://rushautoworks.com/car_post/rush-sr/) and [configurator](https://rushautoworks.com/product/build-price/) for more information. The RUSH SR is a purpose-built race car that you will run hard on track. To ensure you get reliable on track performance, it is necessary that the car be maintained. The maintenance requirements are not excessive: a couple of hours prepping the car before each event is all that’s required. If you are handy with a wrench, then the maintenance requirements are well within the capabilities of most track day and racing enthusiasts. If you consider yourself mechanically challenged, or just prefer not to do the work yourself, we encourage you to get with a mechanic with race experience that can help get you going, and assist with your maintenance between events. ## Where to start * **At the track and need something fast?** Go to the [Paddock Quick Reference](/paddock-quick-reference.md) — torque specs, fluids, dash alarms, shift debugging, and the latest service bulletins, all one click away. * **New owner, just took delivery?** Read [Warnings Before First Drive](/readme/before-starting-warnings.md), then [Break-in and Initial Setup](/readme/break-in-and-initial-setup.md) before turning a wheel. * **Prepping for an event?** Walk the [Each Weekend](/maintenance/each-weekend.md) checklist, confirm [Fluids](/maintenance/fluids.md) and [Torque Specs](/maintenance/torque-specs.md), and skim the latest [Service Bulletins](/service-bulletins.md) for anything that affects your car. * **Chasing lap time or fixing a handling issue?** Start with the [Factory Baseline Setup Guide](/tunables/factory-baseline-setup-guide.md), then dial in [Shock Adjustments](/tunables/shock-adjustments.md), [Alignment and Ride Height](/tunables/alignment-and-ride-height.md), and [Gear Ratios](/tunables/gear-ratios-sprocket-changes.md). * **Diagnosing an electrical or shift problem?** Begin at [Shift Debugging — Where to Start](/maintenance/electronics-and-wiring/gcu-debugging.md#where-to-start), then cross-reference the [Main Harness](/maintenance/electronics-and-wiring/main-harness.md) and [Shift Harness](/maintenance/electronics-and-wiring/shift-harness.md) pinouts. * **Considering buying a Rush SR?** See [Running and Consumables Costs](/owner-resources/running-costs.md), [Parts and Repair Costs](/owner-resources/running-costs/parts-and-repair-costs.md), and the [Comparison to Other Cars](/owner-resources/running-costs/comparison-to-other-cars.md). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
