Project Your Car, a suspension geometry tool

Project Your Car was a suspension and wheel geometry tool I built for F-chassis MINI owners. It ran from 2024 into 2025 and it is offline now. It sits here because it is the clearest thing I can point at that was built from nothing rather than assembled, and because a technical buyer usually wants to see one of those before they commit to a build.

What it did

You gave it your car, your ride height, and the wheel and tyre sizes and offsets you were thinking about. It modelled the geometry and told you what that setup would actually do on that chassis, rather than what a forum thread from four years ago reckoned it would do.

The question it answered is one people otherwise answer by buying the parts, fitting them, and finding out. That is an expensive way to find out.

Why it is on a WordPress developer’s site

Almost all of my commercial work sits under an agency’s name, so I can describe it but not show it. This one was mine start to finish. Nobody specced it, nobody signed it off, and there was no template to begin from. The modelling either agreed with a real car or it did not, which is a harder test than a client sign-off.

It is the same skill the paid work draws on. Calculators, dashboards and tools that sit inside a client site and have to be right every time are the same job with someone else’s name on the invoice.

Why it stopped

A competitor covering far more car models got there first. My geometry modelling was better than theirs. The tool around it was not, and breadth of coverage is what that audience was actually buying. So it was sunsetted in 2025 and the domain went with it.

Building something and then deciding it is not worth keeping alive is a normal outcome, and I would rather say that plainly than re-badge it as a pivot.

If you want something similar built into your own site, the development page covers how that works.
