I have a 97 civic ex with a d16y8 and want to put a new lighter flywheel in it. What is a good weight to go with i heard the stock one is around 16 lbs. Thanks

lightweight flywheels are only good for drags. outside of that, they hurt your ability to maintain momentum and especially going uphill at all.

Id stay withing 5lbs of stock weight

I see what yer saying, but the lighter your rotation mass is, the harder it has to work to maintain momentum. You know what Im saying? From a pure performance perspective, its all good, since all your doing is either accelerating or deaccelerating on the track, but on a normal drive, youll find your gas mileage actually takes a hit, hence why I wont get a really light one, maybe just a couple pounds lighter. Dont mean I hate em dude :lol

Its personal preference. Do you wanna rev the piss outta it really quick and get better times, or you just wanna improve it a lil bit, not much to hrut anything, but just make it a lil more lively.

Goddamnit, I need a manual so bad on this car, but Im too lazy to do something like modify the shifter area (plus I dont have the right tools :lol)

ultra light flywheels are dumb for a street car. something a little lighter than stock is ok but don't go down to something too light you'll get annoyed
