Has anyone got some proper weights from completed Indy R's lightweight race chassis, and if so whats the spec. Just trying gauge if i can put a full body (fury style) on it and get it down to 450kg without driver or fuel.

You can't rely on weights at IVA. They usually weigh each axle individually, by dropping the vehicle into rollers and give you a combined axle 1 + axle 2 weight. Unfortunately, this combined weight isn't the true weight of the vehicle.

For example; At SVA, our first blade engined Indy had an axle 1 weight of 194kg and axle 2 weight of 220kg. The actual weight of the whole vehicle was not 414kg but nearer 500kg when weighed accurately.
