Or is the shenanigans group allowed these sort of shenanigans in their engine compartment. I am also waiting on my tires which will really make my decision for this weekend. I only have snow tires and what little tread I have left on them, I need for the rest of our season up here.

Thanks
You need a 1 quart coolant overflow catch can, at least for trials, I'm not sure what Solo requires, but it's probably similar.

The Perrin FMIC should have come w/ a replacment catchcan that mounts behind the driver's side headlight. Technically, that can's not large enough, but may get you past tech. If you're missing your Perrin can, I've got mine off the car you can borrow for tech/buy off me if you want. It's a pretty quick install.

Since I've relocated my battery, I'm looking into a larger can that will hold some extra coolant w/ a cap like the OEM one to go in the area where my battery was. For now, here's my solution, which is something you could probably rig up as well for next to zero $:
