not sure how much a standard one is mate but i'd highly recommend fitting a lightened/balanced one instead of a standard one.

£50 or 60 for an O/E. from a breaker selling them all the time. A lot less from someone on here with an all singing all dancing light weight after market one costing a few £hundred.
A lightened flywheel requires more precision when launching if you do that sort of thing.
The lighter flywheel will heat up quicker and get far hotter than a heavier one. This is a BAD thing. It can result in premature failure.
£250 or thereabouts. There are better things to spend your hard earned money on for a road car, IMHO.

Go for a compromise and get a slightly lightened standard one - £100 inc vat from ASPerformance, I have one on my car.
These are normally in stock and weighs approx. 8kgs - supplied on an exchange basis, £50 surcharge if you want one prior to sending your own (most popular choice so peeps can get there clutch, etc. fitted and then return the old one)
Ring Alyn from ASPerformance.com on 0191-4103770 if you are interested.

Yep a lightened O/E around 8 kg or just over seems to avoid some of the problems of the expensive light after market flywheels.
