I've been interested in fiberglass due to the ease to work on it at a small scale and the lower cost compared to carbon fiber, but nowadays I'd rather try some vegetable-based fibers due to the lower energy consumption inherent to their production.
Another thing that I would be interested to try in a custom project is some way to drive a generator from a turbocharger, eventually using a setup similar to the starter-generator fitted to some small aircraft. That could also help overcoming turbo-lag.
