        No.

        It's spelled "someone" not "some1".

            Car batteries are all the same, pretty much. It will work.

              civic batteries are usually lighter because they are small

                      E30's use batteries with the terminals flipped from standard. So if you do use your Civic battery (assuming it is standard style), you will have to get a longer ground cable to make it work.

                          no,I'm not a shady type of person. Battery is only two years old which mean it shouldn't be bad. Think of letting autozone recharge the battery or test it to see is a bad battery. Battery died twice because alarm keep going off while I'm not home.

                              1)jump the car

                              2)drive to auto zone

                              3)politely, using proper english, ask them to test your battery and alternator

                              4) a. if both are good, drive it around until the battery is charged and then remove the crappy alarm.

                              b. if the battery is bad, replace it and remove crappy alarm

                              c. if the alternator is bad, replace it and remove crappy alarm

                              5)stop asking stupid common sense questions
