It's not 123 themselves who do the conversion, and personally I would not recommend it.
The last time I contacted them was in Oct 2015, and they quoted, £430 for the 16 position 123
(not recommended for a Sprint) or £530 for a USB version, which was a lot more than the 123.
Yes it does retain the original look, however, a few people who have had these done have been complaining
of it being faulty upon receipt, or it breaking down after a while.
Where I had the car on the rolling road, the tester commented he has seen a few failures of the converted type, but
not the 123 original design.
But so far, good news, the car was taken up to Stoneleigh and back with no problems, other than I was early and holding
the car back at 50 mph, it was not pleased with me, and just wanted to shift, (did so on the return).
I've done a few local trips with no problems, but currentyly have the front seats out for a changeover.
Idle is much improved, there is more to be had in terms of the advance curve and that can be felt during a drive, but then, I did ask
the tester to hold of at 5500rpm.
Once the seats are sorted this weekend, it's all about going for a drive (somewhere / some direction) and testing.
