on the subject of I-music, i assume this comes with the all singing all dancing renault headunit with the usb slot etc that my GT has? never been so dissapointed with the sound quality of something in my life! my cabasse in my ph1 with 11yr old speakers blows it out the water. one of my speakers...
clutch bite is high as standard, struggling to get into gear is most likely a worn engine mount, my guess being the lower one (do you have loads of movement in the gearstick when coming on and off throttle?)
this site gives mixed opinions sometimes, dont get a 1.6 as its hardly any faster than a 1.4, dont get a 1.4 as its hardly any faster than a 1.2, our 1.6 16v would destroy a 1.2!!!
dont get a 172 its not much faster than a 1.6, dont get an impreza its not much faster than a 172, dont get an m3...

also your...
1.4 and 1.6 are bassed on the same engine, pretty bullet proof other than apparently ignition coils however we've never went through any on ours, maby they changed them at a later date and are now more reliable.
1.2's have a load of common faults although again ive not had any bother with them...
are you taking clio 2? cabasse headunit is physically the same looking and same to use, sound is much better, however as above its not exactly aftermarket quality, but you can get full volume with decent amount of bass on standard speakers and it still sounds good.
my 172 has cabasse head unit...
16v conversion isnt an easy conversion unless your using a doner car btw.
i just stuck a 2nd hand engine in an S reg one, same engine, sourced it for £45! lol
