Default Just bought a new car, but it wont' start... Help?

The car has been broken into a few times and they jackd up the alarm. The car also came with a b16a3 from a 96 del sol. I rewired the alarm and got it to turn on and off and also got it to pop the doors. There are a few extra wires that I can't figure out tho.

Anyway, when i push the clutch in and turn the key, it just makes ONE click and the instrument panel lights go out until I let go of the key. THe battery is prolly dead but I had another car charging it while I tried to start the car.

Anyone know what might be the problem? IT just clicks once and it sounds like a relay or something. Could it just be a mis wired relay like a starter kill or something from the alarm? Anyway I can hot wire the car from the engine bay? Like run a wire from the starter to the battery or something. I thikn there is a way to start the car that way rite? Or I guess I can always try a push start rite?

Any ideas?

Update...

I got a new battery...

I got the starter to spin. When I turn the key to start the motor, I can hear the starter spinning now. Does that mean I need a new starter? It makes no more ticking/clicking sound. I dont' hear anything else either other than something in the engine bay spinning...

Help please, I need to get this car up and running in like 8 days....

sounds like your battery is dead, try changing it with someone elses.
Sometimes even with someone jump starting it wont help.
