they dont make the battery car specific. they make batteries in different sizes to fit a wide range of cars.

^yup^

the yellow top Optima is not Civic specific.

The yellow top is just more money and a bit tougher. I can vouch for this battery....

I got mine last year when the alt. on my TII took a **** 100+kms from home. I walked down the street to a speed shop and bought it, tossed it in and ran the car home on pure battery power down the highway.

Not that impressive, but its still kicking, and no other battery I've ever had will whip the motor over as fast as that Optima...

All Optimas suck equally, so the "Civic" Optima will work in the FC just fine. The FC uses a universal style top strap to hold in the battery so you can fit damn near anything.
