i believe the clutch is adjusted fine...an expert from ttnet told me it was fine...
i think i just need to get used to...actually, i've gotten a lot better with it ever since i tried to completely forget how i used to drive my escort...i guess it just takes some getting used too...

You're trying to adjust from a relatively weak FWD car to a relatively powerful RWD car. There's a world of difference and it will take a while.
 
it takes practice man.... i went from driving my friend's 1990 stock corolla sr5 to the car i currently drive, but my rx was already fitted with an aftermarket performance clutch (REALLY grippy) and a lightweight flywheel, so it took me a while to get it smooth... even now i have problems sometimes... everyone who drives my car tells me that my clutch is super touchy... now that i'm used to it, i wouldn't have it any other way... maybe a lighter flywheel 😉 but that's it

<---miss my old twin turbo Z. Talk about a car wanting to break loose, I really had to be easy on the gas with her sometimes.

 
I remember going from my Celica to my Supra and there was quite a bit of difference in the way the clutch engaged, Supra is much quicker. It also has an LSD and some nice fat tires in the back so it grips pretty well. But after you burn out your clutch from too much "launching" 😀 make sure you change it yourself. That will teach you to baby it next time. 😉
