even if it's not the same, the teg one will start it, if that is the problem... But since hondas can run even with the battery disconnected, if it killed while driving, that's not your problem!

Any working battery should start it up. Its just a matter of fitting it in if you want to use it long-term. Get a caddy battery and relocate it to the trunk!

i was kinda just joking around about the caddy thing, but I suppose you could. Just get a nice battery (i.e. optima)for an integra, or accord or something, and you'll be set. I'm not really sure what advantage a bigger battery would have. No real disadvantages though, other than weight.

Relocating your battery to the trunk is pretty simple. The biggest problem is running a cable up to the engine bay through the car under the carpet. The Summit catalog has a battery relocation kit that comes with a waterproof plastic box and like 18 ft of heavy guage battery wire. It think its like $30. The main point of this opperation is to clean up your engine bay a little, and improve your front-rear weight distribution. Of course, Im sure you knew that. Ask 88hondacivichatch, he did it.
