Why, yes, it is colour coded!
And as mentioned, those things are called Detail Guardz hose guides, available in yellow and blue too!

These are seriously handy little jiggers. I use hoses all day long in my day job, I'm a Nurseryman, kinking and snagged hoses are seriously frustrating. Eliminating it from my hobby/passion is a real bonus.

Last night I took a work colleague’s son and his best mate for a burn in the Mustang.
A little bit of back story –
As a young fella myself, I was completely obsessed with cars and craved any experience car related. My father organised a ride in one of his workers new ute in my early teens. That ute was a then brand new AU II XR6 VCT in Venom Red, fitted with all the desirable options of the time – Chrome Sports bar, Tickford body kit, leather trim and momo steering wheel. It sealed my fate as a Ford man and only fuelled my obsession. Later rides in a then new BA XR6T ute and a likewise new BA FPV GT were defining moments in my passion for cars and Fords in particular.
As an adult, having worked hard and bought some nice cars along the way, I am returning the favor so to speak. This colleague of mine has been a massive support to me in so many ways. Like me, she works hard and is the sort of person who would drop everything to help anybody who needed a hand. She is also a single mum, working 6 days a week to bring up to teenage children. Knowing her son was into cars, I offered a ride in the Mustang anytime he would like. With his 15th birthday arriving on Sunday, we organised a flame thrower ride for his extra special birthday gift. He got his pic taken in the driver’s seat and it was a joy to see the enthusiasm and excitement in his eyes. The Mustang put on a great show too, pulling HARD in the chilly winter night time air.
It was a great feeling to give a little something back in appreciation of the support this person has given me, and also perhaps fueling a new generation of car enthusiast in the same way that cemented my passion.

Basically it removes the throttle delay in the pedal to the throttle body. And it does make a very large difference that's for sure. It has economy mode, ultimate mode and AC mode (automatic control)
here is a link for the product.

Im running it in Ultimate mode around 5 and 6 the car is much snappier now much better response, on 9 which is the max its an absolute beast I wouldn't suggest driving on that in the wet. still cant stop grinning though.
The idrive unit is made for many makes and models of cars as well.

Hi Keith. What is it like when changing your drive mode from Normal to Sport +. Do you have to adjust your Ultimate mode setting at all.

And does it void any warranty? Is it simply plug and play with no mods to tuning or cutting into the harness?

Th
This is a plug and play unit and as far as I know will not affect your warranty, you can just remove the unit before a service and reinstall after the service, I have a tuned car and it doesn't affect the tune re-write it etc, it on affects the signal between accelerator pedal and throttle body. Just unplug the harness that attaches to your accelerator pedal clip in the units supplied harness, attach the original harness to the other connector and attach the panel to the harness then find a location for the face panel it's that easy. One ignition is on select if your car is manual or auto the your ready to select one of the three modes. So much fun for such a simple unit.
